It'll be a challenge-crows have x-ray vision and ESP.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Here in the mountains of WV it's sometimes close quarters for crow shooting if ya do it in the woods instead of fields, coves or saddles are good setup locations, never shot one with a bow ,, shot at a few and said that if I ever hit one that I would eat it  ;)

My suggestion would be to find a road kill and drag it in the woods, set up a brush blind and pray to the gods
because ya will still get busted, turkeys got nothing on crows when it comes to the smarts the dang
critters are unnatural.

I've hunted Crows with a rifle.  You get one shot, then no more crows.

Crows can tell what you are hunting with and seem to stay out of that range!! ;)

 Leave the guy with the gun at home and maybe you can confuse them with the bow!!! :D

I accidently shot a dumb one with a bow one time.  They man that leases our land to grow soybeans had plowed one of the fields the day before and I had been out stump shooting.  On my way back, I was cresting a hill and saw four walking around grabbing worms, so I dropped down and crawled a little closer.  When I got too close, three of them took off.  I raised up and drew at the same time and let the arrow go.  The fourth bird had his mind on worms and waited too long.  I will admit, it was a lucky shot.  I have his claws hanging on one of my quivers.
