Um... maybe it's just me but... why would anyone want to hunt for Sandhill
Cranes??? Are they supposed to taste good? Seems to me if there's a chance
someone could bring down a Whooper while shooting at Sandhills, there shouldn't
be
a Sandhill hunting season.
(As if Missouri will be asking my opinion.)

It is my understanding, passed down through oral history from my Scottish,
Irish & Creek Indian ancestors, that sandhill cranes were considered good fare
in the early days when they were more than plentiful. The late author,
Marjorie Kinnen Rawlings, wrote in her book CROSS CREEK about early life near
Orange
Lake, FL, that white ibis were also plentiful and used to make delicious
"curlew purlew" by the Florida "crackers."
