I remember killing one 50 years ago at Foss, of course, that was before time began

Got any yet?
We had about 30 birds swing just a little wide of us and land in the wheat instead of the milo. They've been feeding in the milo for the last week, oh well, it was a nice morning out anyway. Guess a lot of the birds have moved on, we've been seeing several hundred, just haven't had a chance to hunt them.

I guess that's hunting. When does crane season end?
Tomorrow the 22nd is the last day. We were entertained all morning by blackbirds and song birds point blank eating milo off of the remaining heads.
Saw a bunch of cranes out on the river north of Cheyenne this weekend. They were roosting somewhere east of us and sure made a lot of noise.
Cranes are the best eating wild game for me, hands down. Breasts on the grill of smoker, cooked to medium, is as good as a good steak. Just do not make a mistake of preparing canada geese & cranes for the same meal. You will have plenty of geese leftovers.
I just got back from Lubbock with some friends. We hunted two days & shot 23 cranes. If not for the dust storm, we would have shot more. They are incredibly plentiful out there & are not shy to decoy, unlike what we see in Oklahoma.

I've got to figure out a place to hunt these. I'm intrigued now to get some on the grill.
I heard some where that some landowners were having problems with the cranes to the point where the wheat farmers just pulled out their rifles and blasted a few.
