Even well cared for cats that people let roam the backyard or neighborhood.

If a cat is out of the house, it's likely killing native wildlife.

If someone who hunts sandhill cranes eats them, is it still recreational hunting? WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2021 #54

Not if they can get a meal out of one. But! They weigh almost nothing, Hortensis Mar 2021 #55

Most daily limits in other states are more than one bird, and the breast is what's good eating. WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2021 #56

:) I know. But people do claim the right to hunt Hortensis Mar 2021 #63

If someone's hungry and kills a sandhill crane to eat, that's different Harker Mar 2021 #58

I've heard they're good eating. WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2021 #6

Did a search for just that, and the common response is they taste like pork or beef tips. TreasonousBastard Mar 2021 #7

Migratory sandhill cranes are not endangered. WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2021 #45

From the article: Coventina Mar 2021 #51

The article is WRONG. DenaliDemocrat Mar 2021 #52

Migratory birds are protected in the US, and rightly so. Coventina Mar 2021 #64

They are protected, but that doesn't mean you can't hunt them under the laws of the state you're in. WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2021 #66
