ok,dumb question. but seeing as I have only killed 15 or 20 crows at one setting,what do you guys do with the dead crows when you shoot two or three hundred.

If it's way off the road in an out of the way spot I just leave them lay for the coyotes to eat. If it's any where near where other folks travel I pick them up and pitch them in the under brush so it's "like it never happened"

I have an ice fishing jumbo sled that I use to pick most of them up, throw the sled into the auto, and drive it to the nearest treeline. If Im out in the middle of a field I'll leave a few in a deep tractor rut or something but I dont want anyone to see my "dark spot" in the field as they drive by. Do not want any attention.
Like it or hate it, hunting crows is a blood sport.
I know for a fact something other than coyotes ate the dead ones....but all the same be my guest! I am pretty sure black bears have too but at one particular location something not coyotes or bears ate them!

I've told this story before but back in the early 1980's we had a hog farm that the crows loved going too. It was a 15 minute drive from my house. They had this one sow that would point like a hunting dog with one leg up and be watching the sky for the next crow to get shot! She ate more crows than all the other hogs, I suppose that's why they call them hogs!
This was the spot where I had a late night and left for the hog yard and forgot my damn guns! I had to use Boyd Robeson's back up gun so I didn't have to go back home. Good thing I had a partner that morning.

Believe it or not, I have some Asian Families that take all I can give them.
Recall there was a while back, a discussion of, ah, crows and fine cuisine.
This led the discussion to a TV show called Dead Meat and the show's hero feasting on "medallions of crow breast" or some such delectable--the guy even did "crow sushi!" (raw crow breast....) This show was, I believe, somewhere way down south (No offense to anyone below the Mason-Dixon Line).

my brother talked me into trying crow breast once, emphasis on once. imagine the strongest tasting liver you ever ate then multiply by ten,at least thats what it tasted like to me.

My rule is this.... If the ground has ever been mowed, I pick em up. If not they make dam good fertilizer. Possums n coons eat more than the yotes. I have noticed that nothing will eat the gizzard tho. I've been back to a spot n noticed the only thing left is feathers feet n gizzard....
