Bonnie,
it is not that simple.  You must have a hunting license and then pay $3 to 
enter the lottery for a crane permit.  From all those who apply, 400 will be 
drawn.
This is from the fish and wildlife site - 
http://fw.ky.gov/1112sandhillcranehuntinginfo.asp

"The lottery application for Kentucky's first hunting season on sandhill 
cranes will begin Wednesday, November 15th and be open to applications until 
November 30th.  Interested applicants will need to apply for the hunt on the 
Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Online License and Permit 
Agent site.  There will be a $3.00 charge to apply for this drawing.  From 
those that apply, there will be a maximum of 400 sportsmen and sportswomen 
selected to participate in the hunt via electronic randomized drawing. 
Everyone applying must have a valid Kentucky hunting license or be license 
exempt pursuant to KRS 150.170.  This drawing will occur on or before the 
close of business on Monday, December 5th.

The hunting season for sandhill cranes will begin December 17th, 2011 and 
continue until January 15th, 2012 or until the harvest of 400 cranes, 
whichever comes first.  Successful applicants will need to complete and pass 
an online identification exam before they will be issued a permit.  Permit 
holders will receive tags to harvest 2 sandhill cranes during the season and 
will be required to Telecheck cranes the day of harvest.  Hunters will also 
be required to monitor the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife 
Resources website daily for notices of season closure and notifications of 
the presence of whooping cranes in Kentucky.  For additional information, 
please consult the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources 
website."
