Interesting...congratulations!
I never knew Sand Hill Cranes were hunted or eaten. Hmmm. Looks like fun. Enjoy that flying rib eye.

Slow today and no one has even got a shot off. The lay down blinds. One is open and one is closed. Six blinds side by side.

My view up while calling them in. Only the caller is up far enough to see what is happening. He calls and gives out commands like left 30. When you spring up on command look left and forward 30 yards. If you are on the left blind tou shoot the left bird center takes center and right takes birds to the right.

Great pic Gene with the two of you and all those birds. That sky in the background looks amazing. How much “night” time are you getting at this time of the year?
