I checked and found no info on crow season in Texas at all. While working my garden today I heard one on a lamp post then spotted its buddy in the field. Now I have a bag of right, left, and tails to work with. Also took the breast like we do dove. I hid it in the freezer. Since I don't need any more feathers, I think I'll slip it in with some chicken so my wife doesn't know.

I was looking at the beak and wondering, would it make an arrow point? Would it deteriorate? Could it be an arrow rest?

That's some funny stuff Gary... :)

Some of my family members still talk about the MASIVE grilled bacon wrapped jalapeno stuffed white wing dove I served them last year.
And I have to admit Pigeon never tasted Sooo Good... :)

The Beak should hold up well if you seal it well.
I like the arrow rest idea.

What do you think about this?

Wear a mask and wig if crow hunting.  Apparently, they can tell generations down the line where grandpa Joe crow died and what the guy looks like that did it!

They may be the next most intelligent species next to humans.

Anyhow...

Lucky for me the crows never knew I was there, or at least the one didn't, and the other had probably been watching me for a while with little to no concern. If crows begin attacking when I go out. I'll simply turn my hat sideways and pull my pants down to my knees next time. That way the crows attack the teenagers who keep my kids up at night.

Crows are crazy smart. we live near a powerline cut our locasl group  utilizes often in the mornings.  Wife or kids go outside, our resident group is vigilant but silent. I step outside, they freak out. They always see me slink down the powerline to my hunting spots in the Nat. forest, and just know I'm sketchy... >:D

great video, Parnell, thanks! -  gonna use that in my AP Bio class, doing animal behavior in a few weeks.

Crows are very clever. Aesop knew that thousands of years ago. I had me some crow today. It didn't taste quite right so I added salsa and that did it.

I don't normally kill crows.
Besides if I were to start whacking crows, they might decide not to carry my messages any more... :)

Dutch Salsa?
Man I never got into the Salsa on my trips to Amsterdam back in the "80's"...

I just remember how as a kid on the farm, I could just walk up on crows.  If I had a long gun, on the other hand,  they would spot me fron 200 yards and fly off, making a ruckus.
