Sand Hill Cranes ?

[Texas Grown]

This is a bucket list hunt for me, a chance to wingshoot with my family. I don’t care if they taste like burned shoe sole. If I they ain’t any good, the dog will eat them.

Interesting.

Got a suck it and seal it thang Cuz, I’m on it like stank on a democrat !

When I was researching this I saw a recipe complete with pictures and it looked like a beef loin cooked about medium rare. I have no idea what it tasted like, but it looked GOOD ! (Kinda like that high falutin’ stuff that Shawn posts)

Youre in the minority

They're better than a red head and a marsh killed boot lip but there is farrrr better flying critters to eat

Disagree again. I don't really know anyone that doesn't like it.

I’ve heard they’re not that great to eat. I have one in my freezer…just sitting there, taunting me every time I open the freezer door…but I just haven’t found an evening I can take such a risk on dinner.

I'll take it. My brother is in college station this weekend, I'll have him swing by and take it off your hands

This is often the response to those who say that Sandhill Crane is not good eating. To some, I guess, SC is the rib-eye of the sky, but they often follow up with the caveat, “…but you have to cook it rare.” Apparently, cooked to a higher temp, it tastes awful.

Rare to medium rare just like any other wild game or piece of beef

I’d be happy to share only it’s in the freezer at my home in Austin!

Didn’t read thru the thread, so sorry if I duplicate.

I hunt them every year. Use 20ga with 2-3/4” lead #4 or 28ga 2-3/4” lead #6

they are good to eat, but not ‘ribeye of the sky’. More like ‘sirloin of the sky’.

i also save the thighs and will cook them up different ways.

I wish I would have hunted them before they became popular and it was cheaper. Why to high dollar for me these days.
Good luck and tell us about the hunt.

Yep, I typically cook the thighs in slow cooker or Dutch oven for tacos, etc

I like shooting them, too. With my camera. The Sony has never told me how they taste.

They surely are gangly and awkward looking birds! Great pic, though.
