An old blackpowder club I was a member of use to go on a 4 day trek through the mountains. On one of these outings, I was starving by the 3 day and ate a crow... nasty, I couldn't burn it enough to make it taste appetizing. One of our member brought along a goat to carry/pack his stuff for the trip. That goat wouldn't have made it back if it was a 7 day trip.

I don't understand shooting something that I'm not going to eat. Those crows serve a purpose in the wilds, and it it seems wasteful to shoot them for entertainment.

Shooting and or eating crow for sure is not
for everyone, but to those that do good luck and
good eating.

The absolutely worst way to prepare and eat crow or any other bird is to roast it whole over an open fire. Almost all game bird( those raised in closed pens for game farms may be the only exception) have far to little fat in them to be able to roast and still be tender enough to eat! You need " wet " recipes, and if you read the link show above from[url] crowbusters.com[/url], most of the recipes fill that bill. Even the shiskabob recipe has you parboil the crow pieces before skewering them for a quick grill. "

I have a friend who hunts dove every fall, and once a year he shoots a robin in his back yard, removes the breast, and throws it into his bag of frozen dove breasts, No one can tell the difference. I am not advocating the shooting of robins, even though there have been a couple of them in my life that were down right nuisances, and whose passing was celebrated when they failed to show back up in our back yard. However, I suspect that a lot of game birds are quite tasty if you learn to cook them correctly. I am fortunate to have a hunting buddy who has 7 of the finest recipes for cooking dove in the world!

An old farmer I grew up next to shot a crow one time. It had a band on its leg that said: "Wash. Biol. Serv." followed by an address. Well, he wrote a letter to the address. He said in his letter " I washed it, I boiled it and I served it,... it was the most terrible thing I have ever tasted!"

 

As scavengers, crows are a highly beneficial bird. The parasitic cowbird is much more of a threat to songbirds than crows will ever be.
