Q:
Does anyone on here hunt crows? I ask because the sky's are black right now with crows and they have been for the last 3 days. My apartment is right on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis and that must be a main migration route for them because I've never seen anything like this in my life. I wish I could post a video so you all could see what I'm seeing. Anybody else experiencing anything like this this winter?

I think what you are seeing is called a conclave, in which thousands of crows congregate on the way to their winter roost. In some places they may number hundreds of thousands of birds.
Sure... crow hunting is great! Get an electronic call and an owl decoy. They will come to that like you would not believe. Stay out of sight, use light shot and be prepared to run through a lot of ammo. Not sure if there is a limit in your state but in most states, you can shoot all you can hit plus one more.
If their bugging you, call me up and I'll quiet them.
MarkJ you are seeing them congregate as they have major winter time roosting areas in the parks around your apartment and throughout downtown Minneapolis. I see the flock you are talking about almost every evening when I drive down 35. The park next to HCMC is one of their major roosts. I had to go there a bunch over the last two years and the park was full of hundreds of not thousands of crows every morning and evening. Too bad we can't hunt them in the city!
