Donald Trump Jr to go on Prairie Dog Hunt

[jon_berzerk]

I was living out in cow country for a few years, fields growing all kinds of stuff; corn was across from us. I saw a huge "congress" of crows once land on that field--scared the living shit out of me because all I could think of was the movie The Birds. It blackened the sky, so to speak. It wasn't common enough for people to shoot them, though. Besides there were houses around.

The area we went shooting at was estimated to contain 3 million crows.

You couldn't just shoot your gun in the air and expect to bring one down. You still had to pick an individual bird and aim accurately to bring it down. Crows are smart and tried to avoid flying near you.

In the evening at dusk, the mass of crows circling to land was an awesome sight to behold. .....

Did you see the Nature show on PBS about crows? They studied them and discovered that crows actually remember individual faces and if that person had done something menacing to them in the past. It was friggin amazing. Crows ARE smart.

my dad had a pet crow for several years

pretty smart bird
