I shoot em just because the farmers request it. they know crows will eat there corn so they want us hunters to kill em all off. I only kill most of em cant really get em all. plus then the corn is out there and thats good for the deer hunting. P.S. its being a good neighbor to the farmers and in return the let me hunt deer which helps them out a lot. I think i got the best end of that bargan but maybe they did?? HHrrrmmmm
