Jeeeeez. You guys are ruthless. Here's a good opportunity to educate a fellow member on the ethical treatment of animals.

I've always believed that we are all connected in some large way. Plants, animals, water, sun, all of us. I certainly would not want a crow to take me out just for the sake of doing it. So I try to extend the same courtesy to the crow.

A man once asked his son what the greatest power on the earth was. The son replied, "The power to take a life."

The father corrected him and told him that was the second greatest power. The greatest power is the ability to take a life and not exercise it.

Practice on targets.

Uh, just one moment sir, I think if us guys were ruthless, we'd be out shooting crows and chipmunks, just sayin'.

And I think that fella and his son overlooked the whole concept of creating a life (it's way more fun tryin' too!)

You must have come up with a great answer to an unasked question.

Actually, for a change, no. It's that 2dumb has a unique way of sharing "alternative forms of wisdom." :)

Playing devils advocate here: I don't really condone killing for the sake of killing but there are places where crows are a nuisance animal. Local officials encourage the killing of such animals. Here in Alaska pigeons are a nuisance animal. I do my best to kill as many as I can. Albeit I use them for trapping bait so its not like they are wasted.

Playing me here: However I don't have to go hunt all day only to find one later in my yard. There are thousands of them flying around my house every day, and they crap on everything under them. Including my new F350.

Second what Ken said.

Winnie...just so that you'll know, RRA stands for Rock River Arms.

I guess where he's from, you need a high powered, $2,000 rifle to kill a crow. (Shrug)

I once killed a clay pigeon, at 250 yds, with my mini-14.:innocent: LOL

Kevin, I have no problem with the concept of killing nuisances that eat crops, or kill livestock, or spread disease (rats) or create damage, and especially those that pose a threat to people and pets.

But then I look at that chimpmunk and ask http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:Y...images/why.jpg why.

I understand what you're saying. I have a friend that will shoot crows.....but he does it because they steal his dogs food, and more importantly, leave whatever disease they may be carrying, in his dogs food bowl.

I forgot all about the chipmunk. I love those little things it just takes so many to make a good stew. They are so small that when you shoot them it tears up to much. Far better to trap a whole mess of them and drop them in the boiling water alive like you do crawfish or crab.:sneaky2:
