Good Morning all...this appeared on Kentucky's version of TN-bird yesterday. Thought you all would find it interesting and if you live on the Kentucky border might want to attend one of these meetings. Also please remember that the deadline for submitting comments in Tennessee is fast approaching...January 19th...if you have not done so please take a minute to do it. And the meetings to decide on the Proposed Sandhill Crane Hunt in Tennessee will take place on Jan. 20 & 21 in Nashville. If at all possible PLEASE make plans to join us at those meetings.
