Title: Sandhill crane hunting- anyone done it?
Post by: Idiot on November 26, 2022, 04:26:28 pm
Has anyone gone sandhill crane hunting? 
A group of us have decided to go freeze our butts off in January to go sandhill crane hunting in northwest Texas.  This will be the first time for any of us.  I had to purchase a 12 gauge auto shotgun and some Hevishot high powered shells for the shoot.  The video I saw on youtube the dogs wear goggles, because the cranes will try to peck the dogs eyes out.
Sounds like an adventure...lol.

Ok, it sounded like an adventure till I read the last part about dogs needing to wear goggles because the cranes will peck their eyes out.  Yikes!
