Sandhill Cranes

I'd love to go on a guided crane hunt sometime. They roost of the river right at the north boundary of our lease. The things never shut up!! If i was a coyote or bobcat living on the river, i'd cut my own throat for relief from the noise.

We're froze up that's why he's down there.
I can' draw a crane tag in Wyoming so maybe one day.

Nice take, if you need to drop off a crane in Laramie on your way back I'll be home all week, lol.

Enjoy your hunt and travel safe WyoBull.
We're going down for hogs end of Feb.

Everybody always talks about how good of eating crane are, but I haven’t found that to be the case. We get a pile of them up here in the panhandle, and to me they’re not very good. Lean and flavorless. They’ve got to be doused in marinade or sauce to be edible lol

I think the comment below backs up your opinion.

It’s dang sure no ribeye! But good compared to geese or ducks! We sliced the breasts thin and marinaded and wrapped in onions and peppers and rolled up in bacon and grilled and my favorite was to BBQ the thighs. If your just breading out the cranes your missing out.

1. Cut thin.
2. Marinate.
3. Wrap in onion.
4. Wrap in peppers.
5. Wrap in bacon.
6. Grill

Yep, that’ll make it tasty……
