(UNDATED) We should know sometime Tuesday (4/10) how people weighed in Monday night on a possible hunting season for sandhill cranes.
Statewide Conservation Congress hearings Monday night offered attendees more than four dozen advisory questions. One of them asked if state lawmakers should give the DNR the authority to develop a hunting season for sandhill cranes. At the Milwaukee County hearing in West Allis Pat Brust said she worries hunters would mistake sandhills for federally protected whooping cranes
Some hunters who say they favor shooting sandhills declined to be interviewed. But Allen Meyers, Jr. says he favors a hunt because he feels there too many sandhills on public marshes, and some farm fields.
The DNR is scheduled to announce the results of the advisory ballot questions Tuesday afternoon.
