Yup, except it’s illegal to shoot one right now - season is August 20 through March 18 on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. They weren’t coming around in the winter or spring/March, when it was still legal then - nothing they consider tasty was growing in the garden that early!
My dad tells me a story from when he was a boy - always says “crows can count to ‘one’”. If dad walked to the spring house by himself, the crows would not come - they knew he was in the spring house. If he and his brother would go to the spring house & then his brother would walk back to the house, the crows would come back to whatever they were eating & my dad would blast them. He was a ‘barefoot boy with cheeks of tan’ back in the Depression Years when shooting crows was something many farm boys would do.
Any varmint that’s eating my garden without permission is in season.
CROWS : they may be intelligent ,.. but they can't count !
Must be the new " Core Cirriculum" ?
CROWS : the 'other ' black meat; it's whats for dinner !
