I had this nice limit by 9:30 this morning. Would have been quicker if I put out the deeks. Couldn't get anyone else to go hunting so I opted to shoot fly by's. The bird closest to me was huge for a crane,,,cranezilla.  Texas Verminator Verminator Predator Calls Pro Staff | ||

Nice. A definite must-do for me at some point. Say, what does one look for in trying to pick out a mature full plumed bird, please? ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

It's hard to tell a mature bird in the air,,,or is for me. A big bird will have copper colored spots throughout the grey feathers. That and they are much larger than the juveniles. Texas Verminator Verminator Predator Calls Pro Staff | |||

They are cool birds to hunt. We do not have a season yet but hopefully soon. We winter around 75,000 in the southeast (Hiwassee Island refuge near Chattanooga) but I'm seeing them here in middle TN almost every winter. Twice so far this year.

How are sandhills to eat? I've heard they're very good, but we're not allowed to hunt them here in California, so I've never tried one. | |||
