Finally! Unscoped 350 takes crow @ 40+yds (pics)

Yeah once you 've shot at them, or drawn blood, forget it.. it's 10X harder now..  

You may have somethign there about them having an "off day".  Maybe the ones we do manage to take are "slow" and sick?  that don't comprehend what's going on or are too old to fly right away and follow the others, or their brain is going and takes a while for them to process? like they have Alzheimers or something like that? :-)  
All 4 times I have shot a crow, it was the 1 that stayed behind for a few secs, and did not take off like the rest of them for some reason.  It wouldn't be crazy to assume maybe there was something different about those ones?

Perhaps that's the case!  Like you, the only crows I've taken have been the one that stayed.  All looked healthy and hale, excepting the perforation, but who knows?

Lookin' forward to the next slow one, though!

heheh, it's actually hard to see that perforation under all those feathers :)

I 'm looking forward to it more than you are!  Only about 5 weeks left to the season!  At least 1 got one (that I was able to recover), that's all that matters :)  It's rare we see anyone post a crow kill here.  I 'd like to hear from more people.
