Save a duck, shoot a crow!

[Biggie]

Where their ranges overlap, crows severely impact the annual waterfowl populations. When the hens begin laying, crows break open and eat the eggs. Later they will return and devour the fledglings. In the 40's a biological survey was conducted that really shows the damage crows can cause to the waterfowl in the Canadian "Duck Factory". It was shown that crows in close proximity to duck nesting areas took an average of 110 to 120 eggs or fledglings per crow per year, approximately 20,000,000 ducks. During the same year, sportsman only took 11,000,000 ducks. A common slogan of the time was "Kill a crow, Save a duck". At a time when waterfowl seasons are being dramatically reduced and even canceled, the survival rate of waterfowl at their breeding grounds is paramount. Shooting crows can make a real difference.

I knew there was a good reason I was shooting them when the dove hunting slowed down. ;D

They're wiley rascals though. You can call ducks in easier than crows.
I went on a crow shoot when I was about 14 on my cousins farm. Dammitson! My uncle had caught a crow in a trap and we used it to call the crows into the cornfield. They would aggravate the crow into squaking and raising cane and man alive at the crows coming in. We killed over 100 that day. My uncle said they used that crow again two days later killed over 200 more.
I don't guess they don't have crow shoots no more, huh? I know I haven't heard of one since the seventies.

We have them hear all the time. I kust wont go into details since we aren't as nice to the crows as yall were.

[Bucktales]

Well, we'll just say I save a duck every time I get the chance. ;D ;D
