Stupid !!!!I

[Preacher]

I always figured that Crows were on top of the smart list, maybe just the young ones are stupid!!!!!
I had been fire forming brass for my new XP-100 6.5x47 Lapua Ackley with 120 Lapua's, and had fired 36 of them out of the FF barrel at a pretty fast clip. Popped another one in the chamber and then noticed a crow land in the tree above the 100 yard marker. Stuck 4 boards under the front rest to gain lots of elevation, and held on the bottom of his, or her's belly and touched the Jewell trigger one more time, and down it came.....

Was it more of a whack or smack? Maybe a poof?

Need to duck. Crows are migatory bird with season and shotgun only.

That's a good looking xp, different than most I like it!

It varies from state to state - many states allow rifle and pistol.

Bastards ate all my strawberries and they pulled all my sweet corn out. They are indeed varmints and need to be controlled.

Crows would pull up the new corn stalks looking for worms. They see you with a shotgun and they were GONE!!

What do you mean when you type NEED TO DUCK ???

Put a rake over your shoulder and walk to the garden and they stick around, put a shotgun over your shoulder and they are long gone..

Ney York has a season, and you can kill them with anything that suits your fancy, but could never figure out the deal with Mexico about that...

It wasn't to spectacular at all, it just fell out of the tree, and the 120 grain Lapua didn't do a lot of damage...

 

[NorCalMikie]

You probably missed. Just scared it to death. I've had birds land on the target stand and fall over dead when the bullet hit the target.

Apparently the Mexican crow is in short supply and someone actually seemed to care about them. I think the US came up with a crow season just to appease the Mexican Govt. Crows used to be 24/7/365 until that Mexican crow deal.

We have a 3 day a week season year around here. But I shoot them when I see them!

The deal with Mexico is like all our other deals with them. We lose, they smile all the way to the bank. I know a young man went to Mexico last year and shot ducks in numbers that no way is allowed here in the US. Migratory bird?? That is a joke. I'm in WI. and there are as many here in the winter as summer. Good job Preacher!

A friend in Ark. says season is for bragging rights!

50 CFR 21-43. "If they are committing or about to commit depredations on ornamental or shade trees, agricultural crops, livestock, or wildlife, or when concentrated in such numbers and manner that they are a health hazard or other nuisance..
I'm sure your bird fell into this category..
When is a crow not doing the above??

I whacked a white breasted one in RSA with a .17FB and it looked like a feather bomb.
