Never knew they came to Louisiana but just saw about 100 of them in a dirt field.

When’s the season?

Surprised there hasn't been a push for one yet. They've been coming down this way for quite a while, and by the hundreds in the Sweetlake-Bell City-Holmwood area.

I have pictures of them from probably 10 or 12 years ago, and that likely wasn't the first time they've shown up in that area.

ETA: first Calcasieu Parish record reported to eBird is 1998.

Can’t trust coonasses with 40 or so Whooping Cranes hanging in the area as well.

Good call in my opinion.

We've had a group coming around Oak Ridge for the last probably 15 years. Usually 100-200 but at times I've seen 400-500. I've often thought about taking my .17 and sniping one and grilling it medium rare. Use the legs for a gumbo. Just one or two a year, nothing major. But alas that is illegal.

There is none... and there should be. Saw hundreds in a few fields yesterday between Bell City and Holmwood
