Concerning Sand Hill Cranes,

I’ve always heard “Ribeye of the Sky”, but don’t know of any firsthand partakers. Anyone eaten some that they can comment on?

I put the smackdown on a bunch or starlings over the weekend.  Does that count?  We didn't eat them though...😆

Love seeing and hearing sandhill crane out west. My phone ringtone is a sandhill crane. You should see the looks I get in public. Someday maybe get to eat and hunt one.

Killing and eating a crane is a bucket list for me as well.

That’s what I heard too.  Do you think there’s a Sandhill cranesmen association like cattlemen’s?

What I’ve heard is crane ranchers are reluctant to organize and promote their product because of their herds tendency to fly away.

Supposedly there’s some new technology being developed that will curtail the escapes and bring SHC to your local grocery store  soon, at a super premium price. PM me for details on a stock that is ready to skyrocket! But don’t tell anybody, because it’s kinda hush hush now.

I have sampled it cooked on a grill.  

I would gladly trade it for a Billethead goose fajita.

                Dang, I feel pretty special.

They are tasty and truly have the texture/consistency of a ribeye, without the fat, though. I would still take a speck over them. Good waterfowl fat is a close second to beef fat IMO.

We used to shoot a few when I lived in South Texas. The breast fillets were great on the grill. They deserve the label Ribeye of the Sky. 

Another unusual great eating bird down there was the Fulvous Whistling Tree Duck.
