sunset and sunrise from the cabin this fall in the UP--one of the few days I got in before dark. Got my limit early that day

I experienced a smoky sunrise myself this fall. It was on a sandhill crane hunt in south east Colorado. Unknown to my group that morning, a forest fire had been started about 150 miles to the west of where we were hunting. It made for a spectacular sunrise. It also made for a weird sky the rest of the day with the sun looking hazy.
It didn't effect the crane hunt though. Unfortunately I wasn't shooting a Parker on this one. |

I've been told that you shouldn't use a dog with cranes. Understand they will peck a dog's eyes

This was my first experience hunting sandhill crane. After what I experienced, I would never think of using a dog to retrieve them. They are very well equipped to defend themselves. They have that long neck & beak along with the long legs & big feet with serious claws. The few cripples we had would lay on their back with their wings spread along the ground for stability and then use their legs, feet & beak to claw & peck at you. They are quite intimidating to get under control as a cripple.
As a disclaimer; the dog in the picture was just a dog at the farm yard close to where we were hunting. He didn't go afield with us. As far as table fair goes. So far I'm not real impressed. I think it was the way I prepared them. The way I cooked them, they had a fairly strong liver flavor. I'm going to try other ways to prepare them & I'll let you know my thoughts then. Now I need to come up with a heavy fowler Parker and work up some non-toxic loads for it. I'll be hunting these again next October. |
