[QUOTE="Trip McNeely, post: 428494, member: 728"] We used to chase cranes a bit back in the day. What the others are saying is spot on. They’ll pick your spread apart and “float” 100 yards out cranking their long ass necks back and forth scanning. High wind days are the best. Hiding downwind is usually the best bet but we’ve have a few hunt’s where a few thousand cranes are mixed in with canadas and specks and laid in the decoys with a few small pockets of crane decoys 20 yards in the hole. Pass shooting is fun but watching them drop those goofy ass legs the last 10 yards is something else. The best scenario is an area holding 10-20k and using multiple fields in a couple sections. They’ll trade back and forth like snows do. [/QUOTE]
