EATING CROW
« on: September 06, 2013, 01:14:00 PM »
Hey Gang

I've had a murder of crows hanging out in my backyard recently.
Given the time of year, my stalking instincts are in overdrive.

I'm not one that likes to kill just for the sake of killing.

So my questions are...
Does crow taste good?
Are the feathers big/tough enough for fletching?

Thanks

Ate crow once a couple of years ago, just the breast meat. There isn't much on there but it doesn't taste too bad. I say give it a go if you want to.

Just remember, people at some point have eaten just about everything that we consider inedible today, including lots of crow.

The right seasoning or marinade will make just about anything palatable. The only dish I can’t find a way to look forward to is tag soup.

Tough and pretty livery tasting to me. Good chunk of meat tho.  

I've been told to use it in crockpots to  tender it up.

It sounds as though it must taste like tough chicken liver???

I'll have to contact the guys on Duck Dynasty with this idea for a show.

Go to "Crowbusters.com" site devoted to crows. Great recipes.

If you can Indian up on a crow, your stalking instincts are in overdrive.

Over 27 years of marriage, I've eaten plenty of crow.

I've never tried it, so the answer is NO. Can't imagine the process of putting a crow on a plate.
Don't know about the feathers as fletching.

I vividly remember watching a hunting show as a child.  They were shooting crows in a pecan orchard then grilled them.  Brushed them with apricot preserves while on the grill.  Looked good to me.
