OK, I'm freakin' out! I was looking thru the waterfowl and upland bird hunting reg book and I saw that E-callers are illegal for use on migratory and resident game birds. There used to be a little blurb that disqualified american crows from this ban but I couldn't find one in this years regs. Am I going to have to leave the squak box home and go back to blowin' a mouth call or did I miss something.
E- callers for crow?

Sharps, the rifle that made the west safe for Winchester!
Real tractors have two cylinders and hand clutches.
My rifle is mine, it isn't for sale, and I only give guns to people that I really like.

Calm down Matt. 
Rod's got you covered on the regulations. I know how you love to shoot those crows.

I was reading this over at the DFG site:© No person shall kill or cripple a crow pursuant to this section without making a reasonable effort to retrieve the bird, and retain it in their actual custody at the place where taken or between that place and either: (1) their automobile or principal means of land transportation; or (2) their personal abode or temporary or transient place of lodging; or (3) a migratory bird preservation facility; or (4) a post office; or (5) a common carrier facility. Once I've retrieved the bird, is it legal for me to just leave the birds when I'm done for the day?

No you are supposed to take them and dispose of them. This year I've got to take some to the Post Office. They have trouble getting me my mail so it will be payback.

You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

Thanks Wes. I want to give that "new" gun of mine a workout. I think I'll go over to either my sons place and hunt his and his neighbors walnut orchard, or my Mother-in-Laws place and hunt her walnut orchard.

Do you honestly think you'll have the will power to sit there and run a video camera while I'm smashin' crow after crow all by myself?With our two decoys working together it should realy bring them in. I am thinking on filming a good day shooting crow so I can post it on here......
Heck, after I shoot two squirrels you're wanting to move me off my shooting bench so you can get some shots off.
