Evelyn Morgan had a great idea, which I would like to pass along to all. For only $ 3 each, KOS members can apply for these licenses. With only 400 permits in the state, we can get a significant percentage of them and then not use them. This year especially, a lot of hunters won't know about them yet. If it saves some cranes, it's worth a try.

Applications cost $3 each and available online though the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources website, www.fw.ky.gov. Hunters may only apply once. Fish and wildlife will randomly draw up to 400 names for permits, and hunters must first pass an identification test. Hunting season for sandhill cranes begins Dec. 17 and lasts through Jan. 15, or until hunters take 400 cranes. Each hunter can take two sandhill cranes and must register them with the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources."
