They're federally protected unless exempted by state law like they are here in Florida.
So be careful and check your laws before hunting them.

a seasoned crow hunter can quickly tell the difference.One of the issues that commonly occurs is the fact that crows and ravens are mistaken for each other. Ravens in my neck of the woods are protected, while crows have a season.
Ravens a very large birds that have basically a diamond shaped tail, while crows are a bit larger than a pigeon and have either a square or rounded tail.
Other than being noisy, they aren't much bother to me. However, they do decimate song birds by raiding nests, eating eggs and young. They also decimate lizards around my home that help keep bugs in check. Trash, no issues.
So, if yer gonna shoot "CROWS", please make certain that they are crows and not ravens.

Lol. That's a fact, and if they get a good look at you, they will NEVER forget you.If you think they are “ obnoxiously and loud “ now. Wait until you drop one
Then you will see obnoxious and loud
I really wish I could shoot blue jay’s! Also I have a black truck and car every spring Robins see there reflection in them and attack peck and crap all over them. Protected or not next spring i am not going to put up with it anymore. You can only buff the clear coat so many times! lolI feel it's just silly at this point that so many birds are protected. Like wood peckers, they destroy so much stuff yet you cant shoot them unless you get a nuisance permit. Good luck with that!
Or blue jays... most annoying call ever!
Robins used to be highly regarded as table fare in the South. Lol.I really wish I could shoot blue jay’s!

Dont shoot crows for same reason as dizzums, have never had a problem with them damaging anything and I enjoy them very smart birds..have shot 2 crows in my life and regretted both..now squirrels, rabbits, coyotes are a different story.
