a wma is run by the state. A federal wildlife refuge is run by the feds. Why should they be repurposed?

It seems many of yall's limited knowledge of the federal refuge system is impeding your judgement. Many, Many, Many, refuges are successfully hunted.

Eufaula for example, has hunting opportunities. And yet it still winters as many as 25k birds in an area that does not have birds...... A refuge is there for the habitat it affords, there is nothing wrong with a certain amount of hunting.
