[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 925518, member: 5412"] Crows were hunted in that area as millions of them invaded the peanut fields, and wiped out some farmers. When I was 17 yrs old we went down there with a buddy's dad, and the county had dumpsters set up at the country roads to put the carcasses into. We shot hundreds and hundreds of shells, and the landowner provided them. Hundred shells at that time cost about $10, so it was cheap for the peanut farmers to provide shells to save a crop that might make them 10K. I haven't heard about the roost trees, but that might be correct. I don't know. It would make sense though. The reason we have a season on crows now is because of an international agreement years ago to protect the crows in europe that were endangered in exchange for protecting waterfowl in those years when they were scarce around here. The waterfowl were doing ok in Europe, but the crows were endangered. To this day, it doesn't make sense to me how all this came about, but its why "Greater minds than yours and mine make these decisions for us" There is a provision in the law that says if they are guilty of taking grain or something like that the seasons don't apply. I'll have to look it up. All that long winded stuff being taken care of, it is pretty fun to set up an owl decoy, and put on a recorded call and do some wing shooting:D If anybody is interested.... there are people who really eat crow:D They only eat grain, so why not?
