FYI - for those interested in reading text on the sandhill crane hunt in the Federal Register.
Federal Register Proposed Rules: June 10, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 111) Full text found here: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/2010-13956.htm There is a public comment section in the document, but it is not clear the length of time before comments are no longer accepted. Sandhill Cranes Council Recommendations: The Mississippi, Central, and Pacific Flyway Councils recommended a sandhill crane hunting season for mid-continent sandhill cranes in northwest Minnesota in 2010, following guidelines outlined in the 2006 Cooperative Management Plan for mid-ontinent sandhill cranes. The Central and Pacific Flyway Councils recommend using the 2010 Rocky Mountain Population (RMP) sandhill crane harvest allocation of 1,979 birds as proposed in the allocation formula using the 2007-09 3-year running average. The Pacific Flyway Council recommended initiating a limited hunt for Lower Colorado River Valley (LCRV) Sandhill Cranes in Arizona with a goal of a limited harvest of 9 cranes during the 2010-11 hunting season. Arizona will issue permits to hunters and require mandatory check-in of all harvested cranes. The Service previously approved the hunt in 2007.
