I have tried for years and years to hit a crow on the road while drivingbiggrin C'mon admit it!!! Every real crow shooter does it!!! When you see mr bandit in the road eatin on that dead possum nobody slows down. You may not speed up or swerve toward him but NOBODY slows down. Well after 37 years of trying I finaly got me onebiggrin Full grown big fat well fed crow!!! I could tell I had a chance when he changed his mind about which way to fly. That last second decision cost him his lifebiggrin  AND COST ME $293.96 FOR A NEW WINDSHIELD!!! Yep shattered the passenger sideno What a dumb ass!!!! hmm

You know, come to think of it, how often do you actually see road-killed crows?

They always seem too smart to get hit.

The only time I ever see a road killed crow would be in the early summer when young leave the nest. They tend to be dumb towards autos and the highways...along with the many other hazards of crowdomsmile

That wasn't a crow, that was an Al Quaeda suicide bomber in a black burka!

 My brother does a lot of driving for work, a few years ago he called me all excited and said "after a million miles of driving I finally did it, I hit a crow" 10gacs

I only saw one dead crow alongside the road in the dirt but no idea as to what exactly happened but it was summer-probably a juvenile? Excuse me in all my years of driving probably 3 altogether but years apart.....

30K Plus miles per year and 80% of it on the highway and I have never seen a crow hit on the side of the road. Everything else including bear, coyote, and turkey but never a crow. I was pretty close to hitting one a few times but they always seem to fly off with a second to spare. Absolutely sure that I do not want to hit one with my car. I am sure that it would more than likely do some damage. I hit a robin sized bird last year and I was sure that it was going to smash the window which it luckily did not but the impact was pretty loud and I am sure something 4 or 5 times that size would have joined me in the car. If it were right in front of me well that could not be a good thing.

I think I would stick to killing woodchucks and squirrels if I was determined to kill something with my car. I once killed a whole family of woodchucks who ran out from the edge of the road in front of me and my tires got the mother and two babies. No damage to the car.

I was riding with my demented brother on a hot summer day about 30 yrs. ago in his rusted-up 1967 Chevy truck,when, for no apparent reason, he slammed on the brake, and put us into a skid almost sideways down the pavement. I queried him as to what the hell his idea was to stomp on his brakes for no apparent reason. He informed me that he had just smeared a copperhead! We got out to check the damage, and sure enough, there was snake skin, meat, and oil smeared down the road we had just passed. And, as a testament of his good eyesight, it was most definitely a good-sized copperhead. I asked him if he did that often, and he said he didn't know, because it had only happened once, but he planned on doing it, every time the chance arose. Good times like that reinforced my determination to drive anytime we went somewhere together.
