Any successful crane hunts this season?
I have no idea where the flight path is for the crane hunt in Alberta. I am guessing it would be further east along the Saskatchewan border.
It would be nice to harvest one

I didn’t know you could use a combine to harvest birds.

You can, but it can hold no more the three bushels of wheat at a time, including one in the auger.

What is the reason to hunt them? Pest control? I’ve heard that they are not a good eating birds..

Only the really slow, low flying ones. They come out the hopper nicely plucked too I've heard.
Great pic by the way.

I’ve never eaten them, but I have heard the exact opposite of you. Heard that they are delicious! On the show Meateater they are referred to as “the rib eye of the sky”.

threeforthree ... You need tp put rubber fingers on the combine pick up reel. Then the combine would pluck the cranes too.  Nice pic.

The first person I heard that from was Redfrog, when he was up here a few years back.
I grew up thinking their eating quality was something between an old tractor tire and a bull's rectum.

I heard that the "Rib Eye" was a reference to the shape of the boned breast meat.

You must have over cooked them.
Quick brown all sides, into the cast iron dutch oven until internal temp of the beast is 120F.
It's right up there with the best wild game I have ever had.
