Where do you usually set up for cranes? Cotton fields? Peanut fields?
Do you call them?

We generally setup for them in wheat fields and milo fields here in Kansas. We call them and it seems to help some. The decoys really do all the work for you.

Wheat fields? Winter wheat that's green still? Or summer wheat that has been combined? I want to shoot some on my place.

Good pics, down south they can clean out a Sendero full of corn in a hurry, I've been wanting to give it a shot on hunting them.

Yes it is fairly obvious that they are sandhill crane decoys. Agree, but I think he was asking about the brand/manufacturer perhaps?

$550 for a six pack? Ouch.
I don't carry change, but I love breaking bills!

? Really? You actually eat them? They don't look like they have much meat on them? For some reason I thought they were off limits as far as hunting.
