In this episode, Kevin Kossowan and I are in the grasslands of southern Alberta and we're after birds. Waterfowl and upland seasons are open and no time is wasted before our first success. Kevin's first Cranes ever! The season for Sandhill Cranes here in Alberta is only two years old.
Wingshooting and stalking birds on the prairies is intensely challenging, and Kevin was perfect on his first opportunity of the trip.
This episode was filled with firsts. Those are always the best episodes! It was the first time we stayed in the newly constructed Grasslands Shack. Kevin has worked tirelessly for months to get the old building moved and then renovated to the point where we can live comfortably in the wind and harsh environments of the Canadian prairies. It was also both of our first sharptails of the season.
Part one of this expedition episode covers the first day of our trip. Next week you can join us again as we break down crane butchery and have our first taste ever of Sandhill Cranes. We'll also share our attempt at field decoying geese and another intercept tactic that worked to near perfection.
