Crow · State-by-state

Crow hunting regulations.

American crows are widespread and intelligent corvids that cause significant ag damage in some regions, particularly to corn, fruit, and small livestock operations. Migratory across the Northern range, resident populations across the South. Their alarm calls also impact other game — when crows fire up at a hunter or coyote, every deer within earshot knows.

Huntable in 48 US states

Most states with significant crow populations run seasons under federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act framework (typically 124 days, often split fall and spring). Decoys, calling, and pass-shooting at flight lines are the dominant techniques. Bag limits are often generous. Texas, California, and Oklahoma have the most active crow-hunting communities.
