to imitiate the calls of the crow in a 
natural way. 
The crows congregate in thousands 
at these central roosts as they are a 
gregarious bird. They usually choose 
an isolated grove of fair sized timber, 
where the undergrowth is not too thick 
and where a watch may be maintained 
around the entire roost, and they seem 
as well organized as an army on the 
march in time of war. 
T occurs to the hunter that they have 
a language of their own, understood 
at all times and that they converse with 
each other, and that they are always 
subject to orders of their leaders. It 
is very interesting to sit down near a 
roost and listen to their conversation 
in the way of cawings of different tim- 
ber and calibre and hear the instant 
response of the flock to these different 
sounds. We have a few hunters who 
have become so versed in their sounds 
that they believe they can properly 
translate most of the cawings and an- 
ticipate the moves of these crafty black 
rascals. We also have a few sportsmen 
who believe that these are a much 
maligned bird and that they accomplish 
an immense amount of benefit to the 
human race wherever they congregate. 
However, it seems that the great mass 
of evidence is against him, and that he 
is rightly called a thief and bird of 
prey, with reference to game birds, and 
is a dangerous nuisance in the spread 
of contagious diseases amongst live- 
' 
stock in stock raising areas, and that 
for this reason he should be hunted to 
the extent of at least keeping the num- 
ber of crows in any given area down to 
reasonable proportions. 
HE choice load for crow shooting is 
3% drams of powder and 1% oz. of 
No. 1 to No. 4 shot. The 12 gauge is 
the ideal crow shooting weapon, and 
many hunters in this locality prefer the 
automatic for the reason that they are 
able to get five shots in rapid succes- 
' sion.
