What Is the Crow Roost?

The Crow Roost is a retail mail order hunting supply outlet
and crow hunting guide service also offering animal damage
control to farmers with crop damage problems from crows.

Why Do People Hunt Crows ?

Crows are one of the major predators on waterfowl and song
bird eggs and young in addition to the crop damage they inflict
upon pecans, corn, blue berries, watermelon and other crops.
A single crow is estimated to destroy 7 pounds of pecans per
growing season. Being agile flyers they present a most
sporting target for those who enjoy wingshooting.

What Do You Do With Crows When You Shoot Them?

For years I have breasted out some to cook for myself
and give away as many as I can to the people I have
turned onto eating crow literally. A local volunteer fire
department I supply for their annual fund raising wild
game supper serves crow there under the guise of
Black Winged Doves. Have found out also that hogs
are connoisseurs of fine crow cuisine.

What Do Crows Taste Like?

About like an owl. No! Seriously, they are very lean
dark meat and taste much like mallard duck only
without the grease. It's been said that eating crow is
like eating rattlesnake. A small can of rattlesnake
will feed 2 people who don't know what they're eating
or 12 people who do know what they're eating.

Aren't Crows Scavengers?

Read a study once that said 5% of a crow's diet was
carrion, but unlike a vulture that will eat meat
several days old a crow prefers fresh road kill. And
after all we have been eating scavengers all our
lives. The buzzards of the ocean, aka, crab, lobsters
and shrimp and lakes, aka, catfish and turtles.
