The march continues. The Woke Crowd now wants us to make friends with crows and tells us how in this article. Maybe we can learn from it...to improve our hunting. For example, one tip mentioned is to sit quietly while waiting for the bird to approach and avoid quick movements (i.e. Keep your barrel still as they approach the decoys) .
Crows are shockingly smart. Here’s how to make friends with one in four steps.
As kids, off and on, we'd keep one in the brooder house that dad had winged. They were ornery devils. My brother, who was six or seven at the time had just gotten glasses. I can't remember what we'd named him, but he picked up him up and in typical kid fashion was inspecting him closely when the crow pecked at his eye.
Not too long ago we were discussing that incident and he said without his new glasses, he might be one eyed. We never let one get close to our face after that. 30-40 yards is close enough for live ones.
