In the November/December 2020 issue of
Outdoor Canada, contributor T.J. Schwanky praised Jason Nixon, Alberta’s Minister of Environment and Parks, for implementing a hunting season for sandhill cranes (www.outdoorcanada.ca/albertacranehunt). I believe Schwanky made several unfounded statements and allegations, however, which I will address.
The proposal for a sandhill season never collected any dust, as suggested. Rather, each time the proposal was received, it was reviewed. In 2007/8, the minister of the day wanted such a season, so the formal proposal went forward. The department didn’t consult anyone outside a narrow group of hunting organizations and a few others. When the general public and interested non-hunting outdoor organizations and enthusiasts learned of the proposal, they encouraged the minister to withdraw it. The same process happened again in 2011/2. That is not public backlash; it is democracy in action.
