Those crows were feeding in a field and when I stopped the truck they all got up in one big wad.
My favorite is the first photo, really captures the moment. It's a challenge trying to take action photos when you want both the shooter and the birds in the frame, I only have a fraction of a second to get the photo in most cases.
Here is a museum I stopped at on my way home from a crow hunt.
The Dalton gang had two hideouts 300 miles a part from one another, one was in Coffyville, Kansas and the other in Meade, Kansas. They dug a tunnel from the main house in Meade to the barn which was about 50 yards from the house. They did this to avoid capture, that is until they all got shot to pieces by the local residents of Coffyville while trying to hold up two banks at the same time!
Yup, it took "good guys with guns" to stop bad guys with guns back in 1892 when they met there end in Coffeeville, Kansas. The locals did not take kindly to having there hard earned money stolen by these lazy loafers.
The Dalton Gang hideout is interesting, the original house looks tiny. Amazing that Emmett Dalton survived with 23 gunshot wounds. Have you ever visited the US Calvary Museum at Fort Riley KS? I would like to visit that museum some day.
