If you’d like to be on or off this Upper Midwest/outdoors/rural list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.
I've read that cranes are good eating, almost like steak. I'm sure this is going to upset a lot of people. I hope Wisconsin copies Minnesota. Texans shoot them when they head south anyway, and why should they suffer the oil.

Prolly not as good as bald eagle.

I’m told they’re excellent, but I’ve never tasted one. They hunt them in the south.

Yes, cranes are good to eat which is why the Sandhill Crane once was considered endangered. Market hunters(before regulation of hunting)just about wiped them out.

Spotted owl will spoil you for life, though. Bald eagle taste like chicken, in comparison.

Why a crane hunting season?To create government revenue via permit fee's, the only reason for any created allowance these days.

From the drumsticks, not so much. :-)
I think the bodies are pretty big though.

Cranes are good sized birds. You can probably get more meat from a crane than you would a canada goose.

Country wide Canada Goose, open season, no limits would be fine with me..........and no restrictions on where they can be shot.
In about 5 years they would learn where it's safe to land and how to fly south for the winter.........

Throw in some baby seal and you got yourself a feast.

No, but if you like the taste of neck meat...
Hey, I’d give it a try if I was hungry. Or even if I wasn’t!
