You might want to breast out a few of 'em if you're gonna serve cranes instread of turkey for Thanksgiving. They are surprisingly light for their size.
They do eat good. Enjoy. One tip on shooting them, you goptta lead 'em like anything else. They can move faster than their slow wings flaps make you believe.
Also, crippled cranes can still do some damage (you or your dog) with their beak. I know a guy who was banding Blue herons, and got a beak through his upper jaw below his nose, through his tougue and out the bottom of his chin.
