STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo.—The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission is considering plans that would allow a new limited autumn hunting season for sandhill cranes in Routt and Moffat counties.
According to Steamboat Today ( ), opponents have gathered hundreds of petition signatures, saying the birds are symbolic of Colorado’s respect for wildlife as they gather for the second leg of their annual migration to New Mexico’s Rio Grande Valley.
The program is being discussed Wednesday at a forum in Steamboat Springs.
Parks and Wildlife officials say no more than 20 to 50 licenses with a limit of one bird per hunter would be granted to hunters in the two counties.
