Good question. Got a Sister that has them in the sweet corn patch. They hunt and choot'em the best they can but are over ran with them.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Easy fix, but trust me this works.
Kill a crow or two.
Hang the dead ones where they are clearly seen.
They will completely avoid the area for a very long time.
Used it many times in my ADC business and to keep them out of my trash on trash day. I This. Only did it once at a golf course. Worked great until some golfers b*****d about it. The dead crow was removed and the rest came back.

Put 4 ft hi stakes around the plants. Then weave fishing line back and forth. East west north south. Works for me. I should have stated its 20 acres of mellons.

You need to find out what time they generally begin to show up. They tend not to be in one place all day long. Show up prior to when they generally show up and gun as many of them down as you can. The survivors will be hesitant to return after a few rounds of this, and tell their friends and family to stay away from there. I have no way to prove it, but I believe that they talk to each other in sentences and paragraphs. They are the smartest beast, haired or feathered, which I have ever dealt with.

Do you know where they roost? No, and I doubt my cousin does. I live 30 miles away from him. I may have to invest in a caller for crows and coyotes.

Ive used this method also^^^^^^^^^^^ works great and I believe is where the term "scare crow" originated from.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
