You guys really think that many people know about them? I'd bet you 40% of guys would have no idea what a whooping crane is and that its endangered. Sure most guys that hunt regularly do, but how many guys take a friend here and there hunting that has no idea what to shoot and what not to shoot? Friend goes back to the truck to grab the coffee and boom some big ole birds came in to the decoys.

No, I don't think many people know about them, but there is a percent of the population that sees a bird or animal and shoots it just to shoot with no other thought given. They are not stewards of the land, they have little to no knowledge of the land and the animals that live on it. Others see something in the woods and have the desire to learn what that animal is, they pull out their phone and search or ask on a message board. I think the people that shoot these birds are doing so out of pure ignorance..

There should be a lot more attention grabbing information in the hunting pamphlets. Devote a page to them about the reintroduction programs etc. and have a giant "DO NOT SHOOT" headline.
