That's what I do for the KY elk hunt each year.  I send them my $10 to get in 
the lottery.  If I ever got drawn, I'd also get the elk permit, but I wouldn't 
go.  Not that I'm anti-hunting, I'm just not interested in shooting an elk. 
Actually, I really would go but with my camera instead.  At least KDFWR gets 
much needed funds for their programs.  I also buy a hunting/fishing license 
every year.

Seems to me that if, when the time comes to establish a crane hunting season, 
it will probably be a quota hunt.  That seems to be the current trend.  It 
raises money for the wildlife management programs (they do need it).  If we 
birders enter the lottery for the hunting permits a certain number of them will 
fall into our hands and protect a few birds.

Kind of a grim prospect but may be the most useful action we can take.
