There’s a group that hunts across the road from me, right on the shore of Lake Huron. The Michigan seasons are February, March and September. These are migrating crows and they shoot around 1300 every spring. Some days they shoot a few and some days 50. My February and March are somewhat annoying as all I hear is crows squabbling!

I dabbled in it last year and it is FUN! Like it’s been said, have several spots to go to if you want to make a morning or evening of it!

We used to really have some fun shoots back in my high school days. I remember some choice words when the feds added them to the migratory bird treaty in 73. Current federal framework is pretty liberal though if you are lucky enough to live in a state with a wildlife agency that supports a season. We've seen a noticeable increase in numbers in areas where we used to only have ravens and have had depredation issues with them in our orchard. I have been trying for the last 5 years here in New Mexico to get our wildlife department to open a season and they keep refusing. Too many bunny huggers in Santa Fe. We never had a landowner refuse permission to hunt crows.

You forgot August. I have shot a few dabbling with a call. They are not dummies for sure....

Me and high school buddy use to hunting crows all the time! We always did more shooting than killing. But it was fun as all get out. Bring lots of shells

Tip
1. Hide in the brush real well
2. If you use decoys, washing them and use amoral to make them shine, I thought this was a joke but I seen the proof in getting them closer to shooting range. Have you ever seen a dull crow?? That is what I was told lol.
3. After shooting let they stay on the ground, the noise and movement always helped us with the next pass.
