There must be a known whooping crane stop-over location (NWR or lake) in the county.

IMO, they should open statewide considering its migratory anyway. But I'm sure TPW has a great reason for keeping it closed up in the NE

The chances of actually seeing one are really low.

Duck boy is correct.
The reason we have no season is manly cause there are so many whooping cranes in this aera.
