Glad to read some people clarifying the situation with the sandhill crane
hunting application process. One must be a licensed KY hunter who then may pay
a mere $3 in order to have the opportunity to have one's name drawn and be
awarded permission to kill 2 cranes during this inaugural hunting season.
Additionally, the language of the regulation states that to secure a crane
hunting permit/license and to report one has killed cranes via their honor
system tele-check when one hasn't actually killed the cranes, is against the
law. And with KDFWR staff part of this BirdKY forum, I will bet my
farm that discussions here or posted at Sandhill Crane Coalition about buying
hunting licenses and applying for crane hunting permits without killing
cranes are being monitored and comments provided to KDFWR. Hawks are in the
chicken coop....
Good crane fan in Barren River vicinity has determined that in spite of nothing
posted at the state park's webpage for organized crane viewing opportunities,
the Tourism Cabinet (Parks and KDFWR in same agency) has indicated they will in
fact have two crane viewing weekends. Don't know if those dates have
been determined. (may depend on the "hunt" effects)
Finally, we had flocks of sandill cranes go gurgling over Franklin County two
days ago prior to and at dusk in both ends of the county - all headed due
south. One I saw was a big flock - maybe 50-60 and was flying in "M" pattern.
I sure hope I get to see them on the ground in KY during the next few months.
May be my last chance.....
