Shot this bird in Texas. What an outstanding gamebird SH Cranes are! Work just like geese into the grain fields and respond well to calling and decoys. They don't call them "flying ribeye's" for nothing as they are great on the table. Some folks confuse them with Heron's but they are not. They eat mostly grain and young, tender grasses; rye, wheat, barley etc. Just got him back from my birdman in Alabama: Blake Wilson. I'll touch up the base once I get him home.
