They need to open a season on those bastards by me. Them and swans constantly tease you coming in close to the blind. They know they're safe and they gloat

Where do you live that they don't? I believe in colorado you just have to call a number after you buy a small game license and declare your intent to hunt migratory bird and what hunting area you are in.

Good ol' Michigan, we can't hunt doves either. They have remits for culling them on farms some people can get if crops are being damaged but apparently you aren't supposed to harvest them

What a waste to not harvest culled animals.

It really is. I'm not %100 on it but thats what ive heard. I know the same rule applies when they allow permits for culling seagulls but that makes a bit more sense because I know i wouldn't want to eat a seagull.

Especially oned living off all the garbage in the great lakes. Yeah no thanks on that. Usually in the towns when the cull geese I Corrado they usually give the meat to homeless shelters or zoos.

Where I live you have to draw a special permit and can only harvest one a year, while in Canada you can shoot 8 a day and Texas has a pretty high daily limit also. I guess at either end of the flyway is the best place to hunt them.

The pathetic fallacy, Imbuing animals with human characteristics. The Pathetic fallacy. so close to polytheisms. So far from the facts and God.

Both sandhill and whooping cranes are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918. This law strictly prohibits the capture, killing, or possession of sandhill and whooping cranes without proper permits.

Sandhill Cranes have been found as far north as Alaska & Siberia.

Saw flock of those over downtown, riding then rising . First 100' above the sky scrapers. Then more, then higher circling endlessly, easy riding air currents higher and higher. Till just out of sight. then gone.

The birds were using thermals to least energy gain altitude then fly further from the height gains. Long before humans, just recently made gliders.

They been flying the thermals for millions of years before we ever knew about those. They are LD fliers and knew instinctively how to make use of thermals before humans ever existed.

Majesticly rising higher and higher, efficiently low wind resistance for at least 2 hrs., then on to the next city thermals further north.

Riding the solar powered winds city to city, Transcontinentally.
