Whooping cranes mean more than people.

You would think with these birds now on government assistance they would multiply like crazy. Just gotta get them to understand the more offspring, the more birdseed.

$1,000,000 a bird or $65,000 a bird, it doesn't make any difference.

I don't know about you, but that is a BIG DIFFERENCE in my book! I'd rather have $1 mil in my pocket than $65,000 if I had to choose between the two. But if I'm spending money, I'd rather spend $65,000 than $1 mil.

I don't know all the details behind this (apparently Hutch does though), so I don't know where that money came from, but I'm sure its some kind of special project fund or something that they are using. I would like to see the budget and see where it does come from. If it comes from funds generated from license sales, Pittman-Robinson funds, etc., then I see no problem with this. That is what those funds are meant to be used for--WILDLIFE.

Could it have been used in other places? I'm not sure, without knowing where that money came from. It might be specifically dedicated to a certain program, or related to some grant.

Most on here won't look into it, they'll just pick the side that feels toughest and roll with whatever they are capable of regurgitating.

agreeing that hutch's posts are not tellin da 'hole' truth brah and kinda ribbing him for a $1-2 million estimation per bird, I mean he is a biologist/forester, and they supposed to do lotsa estimating I think Having a + or - of $1 million ain't a good estimate, will get your butt canned quick

And the reward for the killer is $85,000

If I remember right, last time WLDF didn't use their money, Jindal decided to take a few million from it to go help his political run for presidency...

I see there are very few members of the Audubon Society residing here! If these were pintails shot out of season everyone would be screaming to lynch up the outlaws. Give these cranes a chance, along with bald eagles in our area.

We need to work harder to build the populations back up to huntable levels.

Let's form a chapter of Whooping Cranes Unlimited!

Kinda between a Dodo and an Emu, with hints of Moa when cooked on the grill.

Too many people will accuse WCU of short-stopping the cranes in Ark.

Only Certain DU members are allowed to shoot pintails out of season. FACT!

You wont here me screaming for a lynching. If some dude is hunting down his next supper he should roll a few of em. Thats how the good lord meant it to be. If not he woulda made wlf before he made critters and told us to kill and eat em. It was human greed that caused all the beaurocratic BS. If people would have continued to take what was needed and no more than that we wouldnt have all these freaking (not the word I wanted to use) opossum cops running around pretending to save the world. Bunch of egotistical *****s.

Price of a crane more than what 75% of La people make a year

There are a lot of people in Louisiana who think that the money spent on our coastal erosion protection plans is wasted money. They think that their pockets are worth more than some salt water fish. Intelligent sportsmen understand that, divided, we fall.

Not sure how coastal erosion is related to salt water fish, but yeah, sure.

Last I checked, coastal erosion is about the land, not the wildlife.
