Alabama To Allow Sandhill Crane Hunting After More Than 100 Years

7. Oklahoma

The Central fly away is the migration path of the Mid-Continent Sandhill Crane, with populations over 500,000 birds. Here are some statistic from the 2011 reports. The total US Sandhill Crane harvest was 16,059, from that amount, 14,442 was from the Central Fly away. Western Oklahoma is virtually an untapped gold mine for hunting Sandhill Crane. The Oklahoma Crane numbers are massive, and there are only 418 estimated active crane hunters in the state.
We believe there are a couple of key reasons these amazing birds are not being pursued more by waterfowl hunters. One reason, in our opinion, the Sandhill Crane has simply been over looked or not seriously considered. The other reason is the Sandhill Crane is an extremely attentive and observant bird and hard to hunt and kill, for most. Whatever the reasons may be, now is the time to learn more about hunting these amazing birds, and get you on a hunt. It's a thrill you will not soon forget.
