That is 150 between my partner and I. Went out 15 times this season. The last two seasons have been off years to be sure!
I shot my 170,000th crow this season (my lifetime total) and finished with 170,809 crows.
I can tell that I am not as agile as I was 10 years ago. Father time catches up with all of us if we live long enough. I will be 74 next week and it gets to be more work with each passing season now. It's nice to be able to laugh at yourself, I feel like I have now been reduced to some old duffer stumbling around in the dark getting ready for a morning hunt.
"Don't Let The Old Man In!" You can make 200K, easily before putting up your crow gun!
But if you want to hit a quarter of a million, you will need to pick up the pace, because at 150 birds X 15 hunts/per year... you will be 110 years old before killing # 250K.
DON'T GIVE UP!!

Demi, I still get around ok, just not near as fast as say 5 years ago.
200,000 would be doable if the shooting was still the way it was just a few years ago, but not now. Not unless things change for the better which I doubt.
I went out solo for an afternoon flyway shoot on February 19th and the birds did not move until the last hour of daylight. I shot 77 crows from 5:10 P.M. to 6:15 P.M. had a nice breeze of a steady 15 mph and 45 degrees out. The breeze strung them out where they were coming just a few at a time which made it a fun afternoon. A guy just has to take what he can get these days. Ya get what ya get!
Thanks to the internet we now have a lot more people hunting crows. I really believe that now by the time the crows get to Kansas they are well educated. Last time I went out and started calling the crows took off and flew away from us.
