Congrats on the crane......something to be said about shooting a 4ft tall bird.
As for recipes, just breast out the cranes and keep the breast meat. Any recipe calling for duck or goose will work with the crane. I like them done in the slowcooker(low and slow) with some root vegetables, a can of stewed tomatoes. Throw in a small can of tomato paste towards the end to thicken it all up. Serve over a bed of broad noodle. Simple.
