What my friend and his Lab were waiting for on that Dakota dawn were sandhill cranes, he told me later. I think my buddy has it right: As hunters, especially waterfowl hunters, we spend a great deal of time waiting. It's good to sit quietly out on the land, under all that sky, and just let your mind float free. No, the hunter's survival does not depend on whether the cranes come to him on any given day. It's a good day to wait.
