Here in Manitoba, Sandhills usually open a week before the regular waterfowl season. We are allowed to harvest 5 daily and 10 possession. As for eating them,my buddies and I find nothing wrong with Sandhills(both my boys love them too).Low and slow is the trick. I usually cut the breasts into chunks and add them along with some other goodies to my slowcooker for up to 18 hours. I also like to BBQ the breast meat(cut into thin stips and placed on a bamboo skewer).

Another thing, there`s just something to be said about shooting a 4ft tall bird.
