I know, how awful! Beautiful birds. Yay to that hunter who refuses to shoot a crane.  :clap:

I hope this is accurate information...it came from one of the KY Fish & Wildlife guys who participates on the Kentucky bird listserv.  I'm assuming he's buddies with the Tennessee Fish & Wildlife guys:

"I understand from Chris Sloan that TWRA tabled the proposed Sandhill Crane hunting season for two years at today's meeting. The subject will be studied in more detail during the interim. I suspect more info will be available soon on Tennessee's state listserv."

Now we just need to stop the Kentucky proposed hunt...

Here's another background piece on the Tennessee cranes. It contains a link to a petition site where we can voice our opposition to the hunt.
