Why kill crows?

[Cantona256]

I’m not even sure the last time I saw a crow to be honest. In SW Utah what I see are Ravens, they’re everywhere. There’s a pair that nest pretty near my house actually. Unlike the Quail and Dove the Raven are low key my buddies. Sometimes when I shoot something on the property I’ll cut the slug out and leave it for the Ravens to snag haha.

I killed the one I saw in one of my oak trees last year. I hear them a lot this year but have not seen one in my yard. They kill squirrels too. I'd rather do that myself.

we take as many crows as we can. we grow and process our own cattle feed on our farm and the crows cost me around 15-25K$ every year on crop damage
between corn, soybeans, cane and wheat. we also grow peanuts for market and they feast on them after we turn peanuts above ground.
i would take out the blue-jays if i could in a minute also, but i can't.

Sounds like you need one of these small hawk or falcon looking things that showed up around my house this year. Every time I see it, usually once a week, it plucking a dead blue jay. Last year and this spring I had at least 10 blue jays around. Now it’s zero. I guess we’re not aloud to shoot them because it’s another protected birds favorite meal.
