No. 9s on crows is a very bad choice unless one is shooting them within 20-25 yds. and then marginal. The rest of the comments I'll refrain from commenting on, but interesting reading.

There is not a game bird that should be shot with #9. What are these people thinking?

It was Destry's shoot'n buddy that thought it....

I wonder how many board members have quit posting because of this stupid $hit.

treb are you really that uptight ?

I just don't like all of the off color comments about other board members here. We're all into double guns, hunting and shooting and collecting that should be good enough to call each other friends.

Gezz....shoot your #9's then.

In similar vein to my comment about the absent measuring tape, I didn't see Mr Digweed hit even one crow.

Good shooting, good story, good video, rubbish quarry identification.

Watch the crow shooting video again but this time with your reading glasses on :), everytime he shoots a crow falls.

They aren't crows.

Next time you read a post get to the end of the second line. The great majority were rooks with possibly a jackdaw or two and one magpie.... no crows that I saw.

Mr Digweed even mentions that his "crows" have a big colony nearby; crows are relatively solitary and don't nest in colonies. Rooks do, and in consequence these are called "rookeries". No one ever heard of a "crowery".

Countryman's jest runs... "Lots of crows in a field are rooks, lots of small crows in a field are jackdaws, and a couple of really big crows are ravens".
