I like crows too much to ever shoot 'em. I listen to the crows when I am in the woods, their calling tells me what else is going on that I can't see myself. Also I find the old rhyme about telling the future with crows useful, it is rarely wrong!
Counting crows...
One is for bad news,
Two is for mirth,
Three is a wedding, four is a birth.
Five is a treasure, Six is a thief.
Sevens a journey and eight is for grief.
Nine is a secret that's never been told,
Ten is for joy soon to unfold.
Try it yourself...the next time you see crows, count them and see what the oracle says.

The usage of the word "DUCK" while crow hunting.

When your buddy shoots the top out of a pine tree with a 10 Gauge, you DUCK!

dude, if u can skunk recipes online im SURE u can find crow too

I can't see myself shooting crows unless I'm desperately hungry or protecting a crop. I wouldn't shoot one just to keep my practice up. Seems kinda pointless and wasteful.

If my experience doing wildlife rehab has taught me one thing, it's that crows are almost un-birdlike in intelligence. I've dealt with a few that weren't able to be rehabilitated due to severe injury and had since become somewhat domesticated in captivity. They could do tricks, recognize faces, and would actually "play" with thier handlers.

I respect them too much to shoot them for practice.

More people should crow hunt because they seem to be extremely over populated where i live. But what do you do with them?

Herter"s used to go on and on about crow predation on duck nests. They are egg eaters. Don't forget that you can work your dog on crows. I've only had one lab that would fetch crows, but then, Rudy would fetch anything. I should have tried him on fetching deer. Rudy fetched crows before he fetched his first duck. I miss old Rude.

Thats a really nice truck for a 17 year old. What kind is it?

Racoons are pretty intelligent, too and I have no problem shooting them. There isn't much I love more than listening to an owl hoot at night, and crows are just hell on owls. They harass them all day long. To each his (or her) own but in my book they are vermin. I would like to know what you are using for a call.

Nice shooting. Grew up always hunting crow when we were scouting. It was always the first thing to come into season, and last thing to go out in VA. My longest wing-shooting shot was actually on a crow in WI, while duck hunting.

Dont knock it till you try it. Quite exciting when you can fool 20+ crows into coming from more than a mile away to have them caaing right over top of you.

set up in timber because when they dont see other crows flying they're not interested.let the call run too, often times on a calm day,you can call crows from a ways away.

fisherman, Best recipe I've found for crows is to cook them on an old board...then throw away the crow, and eat the board. :)

I'm a trap shooter, and my trap club has voice activated, microphone target releases, and I can go out, and shoot on my own. I take the mike cord, and put it out at extreme angles away from the trap line, and get shooting practice at the angles I expect to get during the season. And I never pre-mount my gun since proper mounting in the field is of the essence for good shooting. You have to do it correctly over, and over, and over until it is a motor skill. You can't think about how much lead you need to make on a particular angled shot as well,... you have to have shot that angle many times, and had success, and you then will automatically place your barrel in the right location to hit the target at whatever angle you are faced with.
