Population Status , Hunting Regulations , And Harvests Of The Rocky Mountain Population Of Greater Sandhill Cranes, 1981–2005, Kammie L. Kruse, David E. Sharp, James A. Dubovsky
Proceedings of the North American Crane Workshop
The Rocky Mountain Population (RMP) of greater sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis tabida) was not hunted in the U.S. from 1916 until 1981, when Arizona initiated the first modern-day season. Hunting programs in the U.S. were subsequently expanded to 6 states for the RMP and have been guided by a cooperative flyway management plan, including a harvest strategy, which has been periodically updated and endorsed by the Central and Pacific Flyway Councils. From a management perspective, 3 population parameters have been identified to monitor the status and health of this population: harvest, recruitment, and population size. The number of …
Temporal Distribution Of Harvested Mid-Continent Sandhill Cranes Within The Central Flyway States During The 1997-2001 Hunting Seasons, Adrianna C. Araya, James A. Dubovsky
Temporal Distribution Of Harvested Mid-Continent Sandhill Cranes Within The Central Flyway States During The 1997-2001 Hunting Seasons, Adrianna C. Araya, James A. Dubovsky
Proceedings of the North American Crane Workshop
Since 1975, annual harvest estimates for Mid-Continent sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) have been collected in all states for which a hunting season has been authorized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). Although these data have been used to monitor the harvest of the Mid-Continent population, analyses to promote understanding of the temporal distribution of harvested sandhill cranes by individual states throughout the Central Flyway have not been conducted. For the 1997-2001 hunting seasons, we collected harvest questionnaires from 4,408 hunters in the Central Flyway who provided information about the date, location, and number of harvested sandhill …
Hunting Success For Mid-Continent Sandhill Cranes In The Central Flyway: Comparing Current And Historic Results, James A. Dubovsky, Adrianna C. Araya
Hunting Success For Mid-Continent Sandhill Cranes In The Central Flyway: Comparing Current And Historic Results, James A. Dubovsky, Adrianna C. Araya
Proceedings of the North American Crane Workshop
Sport hunting for the Mid-continent population of sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis) in the United States resumed in New Mexico in 1961 after a 45-year moratorium. Interest in crane hunting continued to increase and by 1975, 8 states were participating in sandhill crane hunting. Currently, hunting seasons have been established in all Central Flyway states except Nebraska. Efforts to collect information on the annual harvest of sandhill cranes began in 1975 when hunters were required to obtain federal sandhill crane hunting permits. The permits included a hunting diary whereby hunters were asked to record information about their daily hunting …
