crow
uwe:
I remember a film in german TV. An old German, living in what is now Russia, still had the knowledge to catch crows with a special trap.
He even said its a great challenge to get them.
He had a big net with a steelwirearound divided in the middle lying flat with a cadaver in the middle. When the crows came the 2 halfs of the net sprung together by a feather mechanism, manual or automatically I don`t remember.Thats what I can say about this.
Don`t know if it may be of interest, but you see there are ways and you will have a giveb way.

flintknapper i have eaten fox before. to be truthful wasnt great but not terrible. im pretty simple about things. I just cut off some backstrap and fried it on the skillet in butter. i could have cooked it better.

Interesting thread....wouldn't hunt crows unless they were good eatin'. Never tried it.
Seems to me you could bait crows in a similar way to baiting deer (with an automatic feeder)....if it's legal in your area. Or you could just sit down and start knappin'...or eat a sandwich. Them buggers are curious.

Then scroll to "Fallen" and look for "Krähenfang". You`ll find a detailled text , sorry in german, but the drawings make it clear.

UWE,
Is that a crow trap? Do you cover the frame with chicken wire (or something)? How do the crows enter? Please translate........ :-\
