Still a "No" for Sandhill Crane hunt
As a hunter, angler, and conservationist, I stand with Madison Audubon against the Sandhill Crane hunt. The reasons are numerous, and you can read them in my previous post here, but make no mistake: they are informed both by sound science and by a love of cranes.
Bruce Ross, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association (WWA), recently replied to my blog on a hunting season on Sandhill Cranes, and argued that hunters and non-hunters should support such a season.
Well, that was throwing a fly to a hungry trout so I rise to the bait.

Sandhill Crane hunting: view from a hunter
On Tuesday, the State Senate will take up a package of bills proposed by a variety of Republican legislators with the alleged purpose of promoting hunting and fishing in Wisconsin. Before you read another word, please find your legislators here and prepare to contact them ASAP.
