2022 crow counting thread

[dak109]

From the 2022 starling thread, and being beaten out of the 2022 coyote thread, I bring you the 2022 crow killing thread.

I won’t start until the end of June or beginning of July. But don’t let that stop you from getting started.

Seems to me there has been a uptick in the crow population in the places I frequent. Is this a thing?

 

[dak109]

I’m not expert. I just started helping out a farmer when there wasn’t much else to hunt and the bluegill were off the beds. I have an old crow call that was my dad’s and some crow sounds on my Foxpro. The farmer didn’t believe I could call them in. I found out by accident coyote hunting one day that crows come to a crow distress call really well.
Then I found crowbusters.com and had a good time reading about it.
So now I’m in the crow hunting/sweet corn protection racket. Lol

I have an old crow call

How's that go? "Pass me that bottle!"?

Dammit! Missed anothern. 200ish yards...

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to start measuring.

Kentucky windage is failing me.

That’s a poke with a small target.

It's a stretch with 17HMR, but folks have done it.

Season officially opens Friday. Corn was planted late due to weather. Haven't seen them like the past couple of years yet. Starting to hear them a little more. Been seeing quite a few on my way to work so I'm thinking they are on their way.

+1 to get us started.
Still not in the corn.

They are getting smart. Staying out of range.

+2 = 5

I'm seeing crows once maybe twice a week now. Used to be daily.

Either I have them scared off or dak109 is taking the population down?

 

[dak109]

They are hit or miss on the farm, which I think is northeast of you a little. I have about 5 buzzing my house. Too many houses to shoot at my place unless they hit the the ground in one spot.

+1= 6

+2= 8

I think I'm going to start plinking them in the yard. Been coming in and running off the other birds. Had one dive bomb the doe herd over the weekend.

I've taken a couple recently.

Proudest of a 35 yard head shot, when that was all there was to see over a hill. Got it with the PCP P-Rod pistol.

Another was at 50 yards, with the 17HMR.
