I wish the 2 asshole cranes that live in my neighborhood would stop by my yard for a day or 2 and eat the fucking moles I can't seem to get rid of.

Like mourning doves, the state of Michigan deems sandhill cranes too pretty to shoot.
But having seen the videos on YouTube about rib eye in the sky I would hunt them if I could. Looks like good eating. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Dang it. Came in to post this. Go watch the meateater episode. Check your states season and throw some on the grill. Show us some dinner pics. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: In before "ribeye of the sky"? Dang it. Came in to post this. Go watch the meateater episode. Check your states season and throw some on the grill. Show us some dinner pics. That episode was filmed just outside Lockney Tx. We used to murder those things when I was kid out there. Hell...I thought everyone hunted pheasant with Ruger 10-22 from the back of moving pick up. |

Humble brag.... all we had growing up was mallard duck on some lakes and ruffed grouse in the mountains of east Tn. After watching the meat eater episode I looked the season up for here, not surprised I would have to go to West Tn to make it worth my time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Frickin dinosaur birds. Cant say I’ve seen that exact senario, but they creep me out in general. What lake you on? we call them Dinosaurs. there was a day that was really foggy and a group landed out and walked into the decoys out of the fog and everyone who was there said it was one of the creepiest things they had ever seen. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: they have an extremely distinct call, you can't mistake it. Like a cross between a Canada goose and a frog. I log a lot of miles looking for them when they're around, never seen them on ice though. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: When I was a kid, we never saw Canada Geese. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Last week there were hundreds at my Dads farm. When I was a kid we never saw one. When I was a kid, we never saw Canada Geese. We saw them, but until the 90s it was a big deal-almost like seeing an eagle. Didn't talk to anyone who actually hunted geese until about 1991, and nobody had any idea that "Canada goose" includes about 9 different birds, from the size of a small mallard to 10 or 15 pounds. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Those fucking things will clean every fish out of a farm pond in no time. That's probably cormorants. Sandhills tend to wade around the edges and pick off shallow stuff at the edge of water, if they eat by water at all. The shit brick cormorants dive DEEP and can pick off almost anything. We had sandhills around ponds for years and still had tons of fish. The cormorants started building up and boom, fish all gone. The old timers here get more fired up about those things than wolves, and they're protected and fish and game has gotten aggressive about them. They've wiped out several local ponds |

I have a big plastic heron out by my pond to keep others away. It works. They'll land about thirty feet from it, lose the staring contest, and leave.  |

Saw a bald eagle fly into a flock of them a week or two ago. It was like watching a a war plane dive into the bomber formation. The cranes scattered everywhere then formed back up after raising holy hell for several minutes!
