real word I meant to say.
Rachel MadCow your dinner is served.
You have to murder a murder of crows to make this recipe.
You win the door prize.
Agreed. They’re a sick, nasty bunch.
Well, yeah, I guess, but they’ve been doing that for years (decades?) .
“Crow, hell.Dog crap pie would be too good for them.”
Well... A dog pile would be a whole lot easier to bag.
Back in the 60s my uncle told me about the bounty on crows and he handed me the .22 and told me to “go get some Crows and you can earn yourself some Sodapop money.”
Well, I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to bag a crow, but they see you coming and they fly off! It is impossible. So I never got any soda pop money from Crow Bounty, but a short walk down the country lane that my Hardscrabble farmer Uncle Harry lived on and I could get a few bottles and cash them in for some soda pop when we went into town.
Thinking back on it, I wonder what Uncle Harry was up to while I was out in the field trying to bag crow... I’m sure he had some ulterior motive for getting me out of sight and out of mind. It might have been just for a little bit of peace or downtime from the squirrely nephew , or maybe uncle took a couple tugs on the bottle while I was off involved in the hunt.
Uncles beagle didn’t mind the romp... Summertime was a wonderful time at my Hardscrabble farmer Uncle Harry’s Farm. I learned a lot there.
Top with a lightly sauteed copy of the Mueller report, and dig in, libtards.
Try to keep it down when we go after the real russian colluders. The clintons and obama.
I pegged one squawker hig up in my tree with a co2 pellet pistol. Have to be careful living in the city.
I knew i got em because afterwards i saw one in the group that had to hop around on one leg. I dont like them because they gang up together and attack small animals. Fuching crowbullies.
Crows are not that hard to hit but with a shotgun. You can call them and they will make a bee line to you. Often they will send a scout first and you need to kill him.
After they have been called a couple of times they will no longer respond. Even ten years later. I know because I killed a bunch next to my house then didn’t call them again for maybe that long.
One day I decided to call them again. They would answer the call with a single caw but ignore me otherwise.
I can relate and know what you mean. I grew up on a ranch. We dropped some crows but like you say, it had to be at a distance. And even .22 longs weren’t good for that. Mostly used .243 with a scope.
We tried getting bats with a .410 in the evenings but that never worked.
There was a dirt airstrip nearby and we made .25 per prairie dog set of ears. But we had to smooth out the mounds.
I won’t even bore you with other critters.
Regards-
Feh. Hold the ‘kraut, bacon, and onions. Those bastards need to eat their crow straight.
Heh. That scene reminds me of the last place I lived.
I had a birdbath on the back patio. It functioned as the community pool. Starlings would pack in there and splash out all the water while screeching at each other, and when they weren’t around the robins would literally form lines to take their baths. I’d never seen a birdbath get so much action.
Then there were the crows. They used it for dunking and soaking whatever-it-was that they scavanged from the neighborhood trash. Stale bread, they’d soak it first. Chicken bones? They’d soak those too but then leave them for me to find.
It was always interesting to guess what the crows had deposited in the birdbath. I never liked finding mystery “parts”, but what can you do.
Our local crows are pretty well-behaved. But never mind them... the hens have finally come back around, along with their Jennys and Jakes! They remembered me.
So sweet, they grow up so fast. And Tractor Supply was all “acheep” today with bins of chicks.
Tis the season, Happy Spring!
make sure medved gets the super-sized ...
