Ain't that the truth; the most amazing good things, and the stupidest bad things, both seem to result from "love"...

Crows are a smart bird, but yes, we all can act the fool for a member of the other sex.

[bdhold]

congrats - don't get to many close shots on crows

[junkbug]

That is a big bird. Nevermore!

Really... ?

Ever tried those?

[Old Ironsights]

Yep. Though the crows that go after the Georgia Pecan Groves are probably the best.

Nothing wrong with crow breast at all. (The rest is trash, but the breasts are good.)

Nath, thank you so much for all your posts. All are interesting, well done and inspiring. This one makes me want to go ahead and spend the bucks on that Savage 93GL I've had my eye on. Ought to be the real deal for those 75-100 yard shots the wily crows present hereabouts.
Most all my crow shooting has been done with a shotgun. Made a ton of dead crows back in the day. My close bud and I use to take dozens during open season. There is a season here due to a treaty with Mexico regarding the hunting of them. Mexican National Bird or some such.
Use to (may still be) be an exception in that it's legal to take crows out of season if they are going to or coming from crop damage or other such mischief. Interestingly, we figured any crow seen was either coming from or going to crop damage or livestock feed theft. Ever seen a crow that wasn't?

I have had Crows and Grackles drive a dog away from his food dish so they could eat it. SightHunter found out that a Crossman 760 will drive them off, and they stay away for a while. Grackles, they look like small, long tailed Crows are migratory and thus protected. 3-4 pumps on the Crossman and a lead pellet will smack them hard enough to cause them to leave as if they had somewhere to be and and wanted to get there yesterday. They really move out. That is such a low powered setting that I am not even sure it goes deeper than the feathers.

Lol..cool.

Pillar....I would lose count of the pumps in that airgun! Lol.
Them birds sound like our jackdaws! Millions of them...open season here.

I wish it were open season on them, but it is not, and if you are found with a dead one, it could mean a big fine. We are careful to just cause them to want to leave.

The next time I see a crow feeding on a road killed skunk I'll think of you adventurous eaters. Me? I'll pass on the crow dinner. I will be leaving it for the politicians.

Ever eat carp? Hog? Lobster? Bear?

Just becaus it scavanges doesn't mean it's bad eating.

Remember your nursery rhymes: "Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie..." didn't mean red-wings...

Per the Crowbusters website "Recipe" page

I'm sure you are wondering if this section is simply an elaborate practical joke to anyone visiting the page. On the contrary, we have received a great many requests asking for further information about the culinary delights to be experienced when dining on the "Black Bandit". In fact, we believe a natural prejudice has prevented most crow hunters from even considering this bird as wild game. Our experience is that the mere mention of dropping these birds on the menu brings a series of comments from other hunters as if we had just suggested stir frying up a batch of common sewer rats. And if you ever make the mistake of sharing these thoughts with a non-hunter, be prepared for the same reaction you might get if you invited them to dine with the Donner party. This is a shame since, properly prepared, the members of the Corvid family are as tasty as most other game birds and even tastier than some. Besides, with crow populations as high as they are, what an untapped resource we have at our disposal.

Historically, crows, as well as other non-songbird species have been common fare. Remember "four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie"? Our revulsion seems to center around the fact that the crow and it's close relatives are scavengers and therefore unfit to eat. Well, as far as pigs and chickens are concerned, you just wouldn't believe what these supermarket critters will stick in their mouths. Seafood? You honestly don't want to know what goes into a Blue Crab before it ends up on that expensive crab cake platter. I suppose the same goes for lobsters. The list goes on.

In short, it's really just our cultural prejudice that limits our possibilities. You know, maybe crow meat just needs some clever marketing terminology. Look what they did for Sweet Breads and Escargot...
