I hope the folks in KY will decide we don't need to kill the beautiful Sandhill Crane. They are in our state for such a short period of time, and are not hurting anybody by being here. It just seems so senseless to shoot them! If they prolong the time when they can be shot, it will make it even harder to find the birds. Thanks for all you are doing Mary to stop or minimize the hunt. Linda Craiger /Glasgow Mary Yandell <mtwyandell@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Here is a follow-up *Courier-Journal* article by Jim Bruggers.
