This one looks like he is ready for Valentines Day.
Also saw a couple of Whooping Cranes but they were a little shy of my blind.

Went to two different farms today and there were a pair at both farms. Really cool sounds they make.

I have some in the rice fields around where I hunt in swla from time to time….the sound they make is unmistakable and you can hear it for miles!
ETA: I’m talking about Sandhills…never heard a whooper.

I hope you’re not eating Whooping Cranes.

Would be the most expensive ribeye you’ve ever had.

Amazing animals and in my opinion the hardest game bird to harvest that exists. If you are decoying cranes regularly and not doing so over a baited field you are a highly effective hunter. The damned things can see for miles and their approach to other cranes on the ground makes them almost impossible to decoy. I suspect 90% that are shot every season are victims of pass shooting.

Doubtful. I've had sous vide Spotted Owl steaks before.
