Thanks for that observation. With the recent high mortality in whooping cranes, the collateral kill (Hey, is that huge white one OK to shoot?) is unacceptable. I know hunters are required to take a test online in many states to see if they can tell a whooping crane from a sandhill, but I guess that's not sufficient to ensure they can. Or that they care. Or that they won't get excited and shoot anyway.Julie Zickefoosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06654698829603424649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-53804574165300734752009-04-11T15:31:00.000-04:002009-04-11T15:31:00.000-04:00Whatever one's opinion of the pros and cons of hun...Whatever one's opinion of the pros and cons of hunting, there are unacceptable risks involved with hunting Sandhill Cranes. I know of at least three Whooping Cranes that have been shot, or shot at, in Kansas since that state opened a season on Sandhills.John Rakestrawhttp://johnrakestraw.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-41592783701060865312009-04-09T19:08:00.000-04:002009-04-09T19:08:00.000-04:00Hooray!
