Crow Hunting?

[FunForFree33]

Why do people hunt crow. Do you eat them?

[Bleitten04]

Ive never hunted them.  But in Auburn NY which is near by me there is a crow shoot every year.  Not sure if they still do it.  But the crows were a big problem for the city so they actually had a little contest with it!!!!

I hunt them for two reasons helps with my wing shooting for ducks and the farmers. Keeps crows away from there fields.

I hunt them because there tough to get in and are smart. Yes you can eat them. Its a lot of fun to do and its all about being outside hunting. They are a problem in some areas. We need to keep them in check as well...I'm all for year round hunting these birds.

My F-I-Law used to hunt them years back. He always gave them to other guys, or the farmer for the dogs..

Said they were REALLY smart, posting a 'lookout' bird, and explained how they would drive the fence line, drop 2 guys out the moving car to take up posts while the car rolled on.. If the car stopped, they'd be busted.. That's a smart bird to me!

Next time you see a murder of crows coming over just look up and rise a gun they almost always do a 90 and fly around you. It is amazing

Me too.  Crow is a menace that causes damage to crops and spreads disease like West Nile.  In the words of cousin over Thanksgiving dinner: "...shoot as many of them as possible."

Hey biggamefish,

  What u said is so true. When I drive home and flying to there roost,I was watching them in a parking lot,the next day they change there course. That's why when hunting them, you have to keep moving every so often. That's why I like to hunt them,fo rthe challenge...

Crow hunting is fun and the challenge is what makes it. I have been seeing a growing population around my area towns are having trouble.

Hey biggamefish,

I was driving on 87 yesterday by albany and saw a ton of crows. It looks like they roost between albany and schendanty. We need to start blasting them.

Yes! Crow hunting is my favorite kind of hunting that there is. I have a friend that introduced me to it 3 years ago and I have been hooked ever since. I hunt them because its a challenge. Yes, you can eat them if cooked properly and they aren't bad. I'm probably going to post a lot about crow hunting on this site.
