I remember in grade school when we were studying Lewis and Clark, the MN Voyagers, or something - that these guys said cranes were very tasty.  It would be neat if their numbers would increase to the point where there could be a hunting season.

Hunting season? seems every state has a season except Minn as usual,or a special permit,had plenty of chances to shoot'em in NoDak and canada over the years but passed as the cripples could do damage to my bird dog,but yeah guyz that shoot/eat them said they are the best grilled.

Might be good not hunting them. Tough to get those legs down into the crock pot.  :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

“Bizarre Foods” TV host Andrew Zimmern Samples Sandhill Cranes (from 2013)



The subject will soon be in the national spotlight as one of TV’s most famous chefs samples the bird known by some as “rib-eye in the sky.”

Andrew Zimmern, co-creator, host, and consulting producer of the Travel Channel series “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern,” visited the area to take part in a sandhill crane hunt Monday and to cook up some crane for his TV show.

If you run a Google search for “sandhill crane recipes,” you will find page after page of various cooking methods.  Nischan said, however, that the celebrity chef wanted to sample the true taste of sandhill crane, without “dressing it up.”  Zimmern simply wanted to do it straight-roll it in a little oil, salt and pepper-and then we grilled it rare.  Most hunters know that wild game is very lean and best cooked rare so it doesn’t dry out and toughen up.  After the crane came off the grill, they “rested it” 15 minutes, so it kept cooking to medium rare.

“As much as I love hunting, I will admit that I am not a huge fan of most wild game. But that was the finest piece of waterfowl or game I’ve ever put in my mouth,” Nischan said. “It had great texture, marbling … It was just amazing. You don’t have to dress it up like you do other game.”

Seriously?! They get a few of mine every year! Picked two early girls yday that had chomps right outta them!!! They run along fence (skwirrel highway)  and go right down into the plant.....fence is 6' high. Plants are pretty big and bushy...maybe that's why...that's only two plants.
