[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 3942229, member: 15527"] It is legal to shoot them with a rifle. They can be shot in a tree, on the ground or in flight. I choose to use a shotgun and shoot them out to 100 yards while sitting on the ground. If I lived in a more open and less populated area and did not have to worry about a bullet traveling a couple of miles and potentially striking a person, animal or building, I would be shooting a rifle. I greatly enjoy wing shooting crows and go out a couple of times a year with friends hunting in pecan orchards. 5 of us can usually kill 100+ crows in about an hours time. Learning from top shotgun shooters in other countries, we are able to consistently kill flying crows from 60-90 yards with very few misses between us. Our shotguns and loads are more specialized specifically for this type of shooting. I shoot crows on the ground with a shotgun at long range around the house and at a couple of neighboring farms, but have to be extra careful of where I shoot because of cattle, houses and farm equipment. A magnum #2 lead pellet traveling over 1,500 fps. is easily capable of breaking a house window out to several hundred yards, or blinding livestock with a pellet to the eye. By shooting on the ground, and watching what's well beyond my intended targets, I don't have to worry as much about hitting and destroying something I am not supposed to. Keep it safe and enjoy busting a crow when you can... [/QUOTE]
