Many Wi outdoors men and women would like to have the opportunity to harvest Sandhill cranes in Wi. In 2011 the US Fish and Wildlife Service allowed the 14 states on the Mississippi flyway to implement a Sandhill Crane season. Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama have since introduced a sandhill crane season with great success. 

The sandhill crane population has been growing at an incredible rate according to state biologists and hunter reports. Wi can support a small harvest of sandhill crane with no detrimental long term affects on the population. Therefore we the undersigned would like to see that legislation be created to start the process of introducing a sandhill crane season.
