Crane restoration has been so effective that the iconic birds are becoming a nuisance to farmers.⁠
⁠
Sandhill cranes, which have a special place in the history, geography, and culture of Wisconsin, could be hunted in the Badger State if the 2025 legislature approves a bill to allow a season. Aware of the strong feelings around crane hunting in the state, legislative leaders convened a study council last year that considered pros, cons, and alternatives to a hunt before ultimately voting to send draft legislation to the state legislature. That legislation, which recommends a limited hunt and which also provides funds to mitigate damage to farmers’ corn crops, will be considered this session and, if passed and signed by the governor, could establish a season as early as next year.⁠
