I have the prettiest little 20 guage over and under and I would be willing to
hide out in the
flock and SHOOT BACK. :-) Just kidding, don't all lathered up! Hunting
something you
don't eat is for torglodites.

When I was down watching sandhills at Muleshow NWR in Texas many years ago, the
local wisdom held that sandills were no good to hunt because they were no good
to eat. There was a local recipe for sandhill soup:
1 sandhill crane - cleaned
chopped celery, carrots, onions and potatoes
salt and pepper to taste
one large stone
place all ingredients into large pot with enough water to cover all ingredients
simmer for 24 hours, adding water as needed
when done, discard crane, veggies, broth. eat stone
I've got nothing against hunting for wild game, but hunting just to watch a big
bird fall out of the sky is just ridiculous
