I went crow hunting twice. To lure them in we had a record of an owl and crow fighting. Apparently that draws in more crows. It’s something to do for fun but not for food.
Crow hunting is fun, but they are smart and have good senses. Camouflage is of the utmost importance. A good blind and good clothes are nigh required, as is a good decoy. You can opt for a friendly spread of crows or you can use a hostile decoy like an eagle owl or a fox. Avoid spinner decoys, anything that doesn't look natural to you won't look natural to the crows. I highly recommend setting up your spread before sunrise, so any guardian crows won't notice you setting it up and alert the rest of the murder. Do not retrieve dead crows immediately upon killing them, don't take trophy photos in the spread. In general avoid the crows conflating your decoys with a dangerous human. As for firearms, any 2 3/4" 1 oz. 12 gauge load will do.
Large murders of crows can do quite a lot of damage to freshly sown crops, especially row crops like corn, onions, sugar beets, etc. Hunting them is simple pest control. That doesn't mean rules for ethical hunting don't apply, but it is a valid argument for shooting them.
frick you man

Nobody actually hunts crow. People shoot them sometimes, but they do that year round.

Ya, pest control is one of the reasons I should have listed as "acceptable". You're right, anon.
>crows can do quite a lot of damage to freshly sown crops
