It gives us another chance to be out in the woods before turkey season. I like the early crow hunt something to do if the ice is bad.

Why can't they have a year round season? Put up a blind in downtown rochester.

With the numbers of crows now we should have a 24/7/365 season for sure.

Gives me something to do while ice fishing while the fly over head.

You can shoot crows when they're about to do damage, and they're always doing that!

See them about to do damage, shoot'em!

I've just inherited my first guns...I'm a terrible shot and need some target practice, especially before the fall and my first "real" hunting outings chasing deer, pheasants, and such. I've heard of people hunting crows, but I've always been curious about what you do with them after you shoot 'em. Just curious...

[monstermoose78]

Some people eat em.

They taste like KFC!!! stand on the wings and pull on the feet and it comes apart like a grouse! Then take the breast and your ready for EATING!

That's exactly one of the questions on the Public Input page on the DNR HSOforum...they ask if you would be in favor of changing the crow season to coincide with other hunting seasons...So, they are considering some changes.

Why would anyone want to kill a crow they are so defenceless? This should not be a hunting season at all!!!!!

[lichen fox]

Like many other species, especially those with few "natural" predetors the population needs to be controlled to prevent disease caused by overpopulation to result in a mass die-off of the species, that may also carry over to other bird species/livestock...the population also needs to be controlled to protect other species...crows are thought of mostly as oportunistic scavangers, but they are smart birds adept at raiding the nests of other game and song birds...baby rabbits, etc...So, that's why I would shoot them ... five less crows, may mean 10 more grouse! And as far as being defenseless...they can see...they can fly...so, they do have defense mechanisims to efficiantly avoid us human predetors.

I like it in the summer like it is now. If it fell during deer hunting there is no chance I would ever do it. It can be fun.

+1,000 I just saw them looking at the corn field like they were hungry

Thanks I guess I didn't put that into consideration much, but it makes sense.

Man, as a kid growing up on the farm we had a pet crow one summer. would fly around and land on my hand, steel your wrenches, really a cool pet...smart buggers too. Most memorable pet I've ever had.

With that said... id Go for a year round season...now that our pet crow larry bird is long gone
