Kind of curious to know what you guys think about KDFWR proposing the hunting of Sandhill Cranes in 2012 on a permit basis? Is there an over population of them now or what? I have no idea and I'm just trying to find out more on this subject.

I read something in the Courier-Journal from like a tree hugger type of person, which basically read "don't hunt the Sandhill Cranes".

For the record I have always respected the job that KDFWR does, I think they do a decent job...I'm hoping someone from KDFWR might post something on this subject.
Tim, there is a very sustainable population and they want to keep it in check before they overpopulate. From all reports they are a delicious on the table.

Here is a good read about the subject from KDFWR: http://fw.ky.gov/newsrelease.asp?nid=946
