Can you believe they have that stuff at some of your wild game suppers over at the church? I don't know how they cook it, and frankly don't care. I wouldn't eat it, if that's all I had for 40 days and 40 nights...

Oh well, anyone else ever tried it?
 
I used to know a guy that said he shot lots of robins with a BB gun or .22 as a kid. Took them home to momma, for her to make "Robin pie", claimed that he just loved it!

Now, woodcock eat worms, are robins just slow versions?

Clyde :lol:

Crow In A Blanket
Ingredients
4 pieces of crow breast meat (no bones) per person
wild rice
bacon strips
butter
salt and black pepper
Preparation
Rub each crow breast piece with salt and pepper. Wrap each piece with a strip of bacon and place 2 wrapped pieces in aluminum foil. Cook at 300 degrees for 2 hours. Serve hot with steamed wild rice, generously buttered.
 
There is a crow season in NY. I dont really see the point in shooting them unless you eat their breast meat. I mean, its not like they are a trophy, are mounted, feathers are pretty ect. So unless they are a problem to say a farmer, its just pointless killing. You can always use them for fertilizer i guess. But thats a pretty weak excuse to shoot them.

I hear its really good, i'll try it if i get the opportunity! worth trying once why not? at the worst its not good, at best its a really good meat that you love! and around here if i remember correctly, in their season there isnt a bag limit.
 
In colorado there is no season, you can shoot them year round. There is no bag limit or possession limit. And if my memory serves me right, you do not even need a small game license to harvest them. In colorado they ARE considered pests and if they don't pose a threat to farmers and their crops, what the hell are scarecrows for? To me they are the Carp of the sky. I don't eat them, but if one happens along, I will take it out because it is fun and because I can. And no, before you say it, I do not release carp back into the water. I throw them up on the bank for the skunks to have. Carp are a danger to native fish species, and therefore, I do my part to thin the herds. :twisted:
 
On the robin issue, my uncle says they used to eat robin breast when he was younger and they loved it. I also work with a guy whos father use to do it also. Although I have never eaten them myself, I have always told my sons that you can eat them.
 
Why would want to eat these scavengers?

I mean, they eat garbage and pick over dead livestock carcasses... Yuck!

I only ever shot them when they woke up our camp early and I was hung over and wanted to shut them up. Nothing says "shut up" like a 36 gram load of no 4's! :twisted:

crabs and clams are scavengers as well...but they taste dam good!
Yeah but they scavenge on seafood (I know the use of the word seafood is drawing a long bow)

Crows scavenge on rubbish, rotting carcasses in the sun, the eyes of dying animals etc...

One seems ok, the other just seems YUCK
 
I haven't eaten a crow but I don't see anything wrong with it. How about pigs, they don't have the best diet. I don't see crows eating their own crap. How many of you eat pig?

"Pigs will scavenge and have been known to eat any kind of food, including dead insects, worms, tree bark, rotting carcasses, excreta (including their own), garbage, and other pigs. Occasionally, in captivity, pigs may eat their own young, often if they become severely stressed."
