In Wyoming you can shoot crows, but not ravens or magpies! So the saying goes "if it hits the ground dead, its a crow"! We have a real problem with the loss of numbers of sage chickens and the oil companies get the blame for building roads across breeding grounds. The sad thing is you can not protect one species without causing real problems with others. The crows and especially the ravens eat the sage chicken eggs and as there are millions of them the natural balance is upset. I have not had much luck with crow feathers for arrows. Joe
A little off topic but I read that one of the reason the ravens/crows eat so many game bird eggs is from the over grazing by cattle. The over grazing lets the birds see the eggs much easier. IDK - might be true, might be bunk.
