If you don't want to hunt or eat a Sandhill crane, that hardly seems to be justification to not support those hunters that do.
There is no other reason why Alberta does not have a Sandhill season other than F&W not supporting hunters in expanding this viable opportunity.
Have a look at this Whooping Crane migration map.
Saskatchewan wildlife managers have the skill the implement a Sandhill crane hunt while protecting Whoopers...
And Alberta Can't?
