Hello Ladies and Gents:
Long time no talkie. Hope everyone is doing Great. I miss the Great outdoors like you couldn't believe. The last time I was anywhere near a hunt was Dec 10 2015 Ilovesprig was there on lake Henshaw. I was the only one that got skunked that day. After that day things went banana's with personal life. I digress...
Since I was a boy crows have been the guys who taught me how to hunt their number one enemy in the sky. My uncle would pull over just to get a couple of shots off on those black bastards, this was Anderson California 25yrs ago. We would take a portable record player and a amplified speaker (thing was designed for calling crows) Were talking 40years ago here. So killing them has been burned into me. The reason I was taught was the devastation they have on birds Quail Ducks Geese Chucker Turkey They are just not that cool of a bird.
Recently I found this guy http://www.sefs.washington.edu/research.acl/ and we exchanged a few emails and he confirmed everything I thought about those bastards.
Tho my problem with them is STRICTLY urban. I mean I am in the middle of suburbia. I have to get through 10 million in Every direction to escape my home. His issue with them is totally different than mine and maybe yours. Some of the stuff I had NO IDEA about Which led me to me writing this wordy ass POST on crows. Its is possible to rid them from your neighborhood be simply tagging a few. You don't have to even kill them to know that thing can go south in a hurry with this bastards. http://www.sefs.washington.edu/research.acl/Crows_and_other_corvids/swift_marzluff_deadcrows.pdf
There was a migration that blew threw HB and it was one of the best crow shoots I have had since I was in the woods. I was using a 117 air rifle and having a blast! Now my neighbors were a little freaked out with 6 or 7 dead ones laying around and their murders going crazy. I had to lay really low. it was some outstanding sniping! The best thing about all of this was the crows are no long around my neighborhood.
I know city limits bla bla bla.... However this little bit of selective crow shooting can actually clear your neighborhood of these things Thanks for taking the time hope some of this and the link inside give you guys some good information. Really good reading
BTW whats Turkey Season looking like?
God Bless
