|
Went down to Hondo this AM for Sandhill Crane. We limited out by 8:00AM. Real meat haul - man those things have big breasts and thighs. They call them the sirloins of the skies. Can't wait to grill some breasts.
Anyone have any experience cooking them? Any recipes etc.. gratefully accepted? |

Grill them slow. You can do the ususal bacon and pepper wrap or just slow smoke'em. Best eating waterfowl I have ever killed.

The thighs are tough but the breasts taste like steak.

did you do a guided hunt?
one other thing for future reference... alot of times there are big flocks of speckelbelly geese in and around the same fields that hold sandhills, so it's possible to add extra hunting in a morning.
