Just had a gigantic flock of sandhill cranes and snow geese fly over my house here in Mansfield. Easily 250 birds, most likely many more. Heard them coming for a while. Flew directly over my house.
Extremely cool.

We used to hunt cranes right outside Muleshoe close to the refuge in bailey county. They are way better tasting than ducks or geese.

You're close ... it's ribeye in the sky. 
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-13-25328-gco.jpg)

Just make sure they are good and dead before you walk up on them. Them suckers can put a whooping on you.

I've seen some geese lately but no cranes yet. It snowed today, it's not spring yet.
