Just was reading the other thread about "Can I shoot crows" and was wondering if anyone in Southern Ontario would be into a crow population management morning say early spring or sometime??
 
hell ya ! .
I haven't shot any crows since i was about 10 years old with a pellet gun.
ive been building up some aggretion towards CROWS over the past few years .

i seems that they are like a early warning radar device .
when im out hunting small game they warn every living thing in the bush for miles to my presence .
but id like to think of my self as a ethical hunter ,and am 34yrs old now and ever since my adult hunting life ,i been raised to belive that you should only shoot what you intend to eat,for the most part.
so its kinda a moral delema for me which is why i posted that thread CAN I SHOOT CROW PLEASE .
I knew they were bad birds but had no clue as to how bad they were and now that i know more about them and know that i won't get in trouble .
OH YES I WILL BE SHOOTING CROWS and i wont have any ethical or moral issues about it .
i dont see my self going on a "mission kill" for crows specificaly .
but i will be going on a few spring rabbit hunts and you can bet that ill be takeing a few pesky crows out too..
 
I'm in too, if 1: it's driving distance and 2: I can pick up a non-resident license in the area and 3: I can reasonably make it to the hunt site via vehicle (wheelchairs and boonies don't mix very well). I have a couple of .22's and a couple of 12 guage shotguns i'd be willing to drag along.
 
I won't be able to make a Southern Ontario crow hunt, but I wish you well. Hopefully some of you will have the opportunity to use a varmint rifle. Shooting these guys with a .22 centerfire at a quarter mile provides fantastic problem solving for the rifleman. When I've driven between Ottawa and Cornwall, I've seen some likely spots.

Sorry, the infinite wisdom of the mnr shines in this regulation.

4. Non-resident’s small game licence . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $90.00
This licence authorizes a non-resident to hunt fox, game birds (except wild turkey), rabbits and hares in most
areas, raccoon (though not at night), wolf*, coyote* and black, gray and fox squirrels but not red squirrels. The
non-resident’s small game licence also authorizes the holder to hunt game birds on game bird hunting preserves.
This licence does not authorize the holder to hunt American crow, brown-headed cowbird, common grackle, house
sparrow, red-winged blackbirds or starlings.
However, you can hunt wild turkey if you possess a wild turkey licence
in addition to a non-resident small game licence. This licence is not valid in northern Ontario and part of central
Ontario from June 16 to August 31 (see Map 2 pages 8 and 9 for more details).
A non-resident’s licence does not allow you to hunt rabbits in the county of Lambton, the Municipality of
Chatham/Kent, or the county of Essex, except in the Township of Pelee.
 
Cletus, PM me when/where you'll be going, I've got dekes and a boombox/tape caller. Crows are beginning to be a favourite pastime of mine. ;)
 
Shotgun, modified choke, cheapy promo trap loads, an owl decoy, tape player with "owl/crow fight" and some property near a landfill site is all you need.

Once you get a few on the ground they become decoys.

The .22lr can be used to clean up the cripples that run for cover or shut up a squawker that sits outside shotgun range. But for the most part a .22lr isnt going to help a lot.


Have fun boys, kill a bunch.
