That might be the way to approach this; focus on the protected Whooping
Cranes, inherently connected with the Sandhill.

Subject: [birdky] Re: Thoughts on Sandhill Crane Hunting issue
Since we have evidence of whooping cranes migrating with the sandhills
here, I would be concerned that a hunter wouldn't know the difference
or not realize what he had shot until it fell out of the sky. I wonder
if this is an issue in other states that allow sandhill hunting?
