Sandhill Crane Permit

[Dorkus]

So I go to update all my needed permits today: federal duck stamp, HIP and crane. No crane permit is available, but you can see here it is required:

So what am I missing? Is it still required or is it not?

I would think it would be an option to purchase but maybe I am just blind and can't find it. Anyone have any thoughts on if it is required still?

Season isn't until October. I am not that gung ho to get the permit already.

I ordered the hard card, so I wanted them all on one.

Bring it to their attention. Wait a few days to complete the purchase of the hard card and you will probably be able to get it all on one.

Probably just got overlooked.

It’s a Federal permit so is separate from your Oklahoma license.

yes, but the ODWC always had them on the license portal. They are free.

I had no idea sandhill crane hunting was even a thing. Learn something new every day.

You don’t know what you are missing until you drop one with a ten gauge.

I'm not much of a hunter these days like I was in my younger years. I prefer to shoot them with my camera. I've turned into an old softie towards animals as I've gotten older.

I read the meat is really good, though...the "ribeye of the sky".

Rib eye on the sky. You’ll never taste anything better that flys.
