    You know something my elders told me about the wading birds,There ain't much meat on them.When you think about dressing a bird... a lot of their size is from feathers,and when you think about how slim they are already, well can't be much to 'em. and like everyone has said it Is illegal. If you see herons and egrets then you are close to their source of food and a better food source for you,even easier to get. Fish.

    So I was thinking about that 150 lb. slug and dressing it out. Maybe nail it's head to a tree and tie a rope from his shell to a tree about say 5ft. away then cut down the tree you have his head nailed to. Should make for quick removal of the shell. You might need more than one nail. Gees... when all you have is a hammer the whole world looks like a nail!

    About the only meat you'll get off most birds is the breast. That's sure true of dove and most smaller birds.

    Of course they are. But they are protected too. You could end up as a tidbit for a brawny cellmate.

    OK, they won't land YOU in jail.....juvenille detention on the other hand.......

    Toughsord - different animals are protected for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons make sense to me, while some do not. Regardless, they are protected. That fact that you saw them may be because they are protected - who knows.

    Toughsord - Sandhill cranes are protected, and in this part of FL you can't drive anywhere without seeing them. It really doesn't matter. They may be everywhere, but the law still says you go to jail for messingwith them. It actually specifies in FL that feeding protected animals is illegal... You can seriously go to jail for FEEDING a sandhill crane, even though they are everywhere you look here. Law does not equal logic. Trust me...
