My rechargeable batteries that normally last all day for several non stop calling sessions wore out after about 45 minutes so I ordered an 8 pack of rechargeable 2300 energizers this morning. Will be here tomorrow with free shipping. Same price as Walmart and saves a drive. I have so many AA rechargers laying around I bought over the years so I’m sure I’ll be set. I think I need to toss out all my old rechargeable AA batteries. Seems I don’t call enough as every time I want to use it what ever rechargeable AA batteries either won’t take a charge abs read defective or they last for about 20 minutes after charging. I think the ones I used the other day had to be at least, or over, 5 years old.

When I was a kid in the late 50's and early 60's there was an old fella who lived down the gravel road from my Grandmother who would give us a quarter a piece for every crow we took to him. Yes, he ate them. Being young kids and crows probably smarter than us at the time, it did not turn into a career. I don't remember any details but I'm certain we operated at a net loss. At that time hardware stores and the one old time sporting goods store in my little Ozark home town sold low brass shotgun shells for a nickel each. High brass was a dime each. As there was no tax at that time on anything under 50 cents, a quarter was good for 5 shells.

You guys got me wanting to shoot some crows. I hear they taste like deer meat. I never ate it, but I would.
When I lived in Japan there were crows (ravens) there that were frightening.
You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.
If I still grew row crops or berries I'd be shooting them and hanging them from trees. they don't mess with my nut trees so I just let em be. they are very smart birds.
been there done that. 1 1/4 oz of #4 or #5 shot over a load of herco with 12s4 wad in federal shell out of a full choke works pretty well. but with this new pro reach powder you can gain 200fps, have yet to get any pro reach

Yah I've eaten crow several times, especially when I get caught in a lie, I have really tried to quit telling lies though. My wife said do you really like eating Crow? I have no come back for that.
I went to walmart and farm & fleet today just to see if there were any federal #4, 5, or 6's. Of course not, but I did grab a 100 rounds of 7 1/2 winchester super target 2 3/4" bulk 12 guage ammo for $21. Figured the time I needed some they would be gone to. I've tried them on crow in the past and it doesn't even faze them. It seems to work quite well for quail, dove, squirrel, and rabbit. I did shoot a couple turkeys with 7 1/2's under 20 yards along with a kicks .670 choke tube and it anialated them. I have a bunch of herters #1 steel shot 3"loads I can use if I run out of lead.

Federal regulations only allow for so many days of hunting, by making it Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon it gives a longer season along with the most popular days to hunt.
Do you mean to tell us it is not the housefly?

Killing Crows in New York State
03/27/2014 10:56 am ET Updated Dec 06, 2017
Did you know that in New York State (outside of New York City) it is legal to kill crows? While most other birds are protected under state laws, crows are not. Crows are highly intelligent, social creatures that live in multi-generational family units, according to birder and blogger Matthew Wills, he writes:
“[In] all of upstate and the rest of Long Island, you can actually murder crows from Friday to Monday, September to March, sunrise to sunset, with no bag limit; non-toxic shot and migratory bird stamp aren’t even required. Toxic shot can be carried by wounded birds to other animals who prey on the shot birds, spreading the poison. I had no idea this went on, particularly after West Nile fever did such serious damage to the American Crow population, and still remains a threat. There were several years in the Oughts when I saw no crows at all in Brooklyn.”
This weekend in Palenville, New York, a “Crow Down“ will take place — it is the fourth annual crow hunting contest over a two day period. According to Wills:
“The Rip Van Winkle Rod & Gun Club of Palenville, in Greene Co., hosts this particular crow slaughter — calling it a “hunt” or a “sport” would be a disservice to those words. It’s a contest to see who can kill the most birds, plain and sick. It smacks of a hold-over from the 19th century, when crows were persecuted as pests. Neither colorful nor cute, crows have never had a good reputation among those who aren’t familiar with them.”
There is currently a law being proposed by New York State Senator Tony Avella that would ban these crow killing contests along with other contests that target coyotes, squirrels, and other wildlife.
Senator Avella said, “The lack of oversight of these hunting contests, which oftentimes become animal slaughter contests, is incredible. Living in a State which recognizes the dangers of gun use, we should re-evaluate our approach to promoting countless wildlife killing as means of family entertainment.”

What an idiot. This Tony Avella is an embodiment of all that is wrong with New York and the United States today.
Bet he's a vegan also.....probably not. It's Huffington Post...anyone expect different? Fascist propaganda publicaation.

I personally don't kill it unless I am going to eat. My pet snakes take care of varmints.

I'll have to head over to Harbor freight to buy some rechargeable batteries. I watched a youtube video of the HF AA 's lasting on average a half hour longer than the 2300 rechargeable Energizer batteries. Two of the Energizers I bought off Amazon were defective right out of the package. The package was also marked 2018. I called Amazon and was provided a return barcode. I already dropped them off at the ups store and amazon instantly refunded my card.
those are the ones I have been using for at least 4 years now
just had 1 not take a charge tonight

For over 40 years we have been calling crows and never had a battery wear down. Under normal conditions we pop 100 + crows each fall through winter.
Big plus using a lung powered call I can talk back to those vermin very personally. When they get ticked off they are coming for a end all fight.

I dug up about 2 dozen of my old AA batteries I have laying around. Power X, Tenergy, and about a dozen ultimate lithium rechargeables that are marked from 2010’ and newer. I will drain all of them and then recharge for a second time. I will then test to see how close to 4.0 MA they are on my HF tester before I head over to buy about 16 AA replacements and toss out all the old ones. All goes well I’ll go out and try again tomorrow for the second day the crow should be settled down and hopefully their brains washed from being educated at the beginning of the week by now.
