Obviously, hunting Sandhills is about trophies, not meat! If it were about meat, I would not object. Sandhill season is all about trophies, trophies, trophies.

Sounds to me like this plan has the potential to back-fire. Linda Craiger / Glasgow PS Steve, I would not mind it so much if the cranes were actually eaten, but many hunters find a reason not to eat what they kill..... like, too much buckshot in it, the bird was old & tough, it ran away & they could not find it, etc, etc. I have lots of family members who are hunters, and they don't eat what they kill. > From: raincrow7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [birdky] Sandhills > Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:06:35 -0500 > > Can't everyone on the birdky list just buy a permit to not use?
