Ours showed up about the time of the ring neck dove and was closely followed by the Messican frivolous whistling tree duck.

We used to see a few in the early 2000s around the welsh- roanoke area. There are a lot more of them around now for sure.

Can’t trust coonasses with 40 or so Whooping Cranes hanging in the area as well.
Good call in my opinion
Considering some frickstick POS coonass shoots a whooping crane every so often anyway, it’s definitely a good idea to not have a season.

Yeah, I don't get the "shouldn't have one because someone may shoot a whooper" argument.
I mean, there's a bunch of birds that you can't hunt that look like Snipe, but we have a season on them.
It's ridiculous to not have a sandhill season because some idiots MAY shoot a whooper. They are getting shot already. If someone shoots one, throw the book at them. If it's a case of misidentification by a crane hunter, take their license. They don't even look that similar if you know what you're look for. It's not like a mottled duck vs a mallard hen.
Regardless, I doubt the whopper reintro is the reason for a lack of a season, anyway. There probably just isn't much of a push for it.
And considering nearly all of them are on private land, it's going to be a limited harvest anyway because those hunts will come at a premium. Wouldn't surprise me if a landowner/guide could get 2 to 3 times what someone gets for a duck hunt.
