'Yotes can be hunted year-'round. However, "act of depredation" accounts for much of the remainder of the year as has been stated previously . . . nothing pretty about crows raiding a nest.
We have a huge problem with crows in our part of the world. We have roosts numbering thousands. For daytime shooting we use an Eagle Owl decoy which sends them wild. Once a year in January we have a roost shoot, just before dark. 8 guns spread over a wood, this years tally was 231.
I shot my first crow in years this winter. Was cleaning up the duck blind mid January, getting ready to hope on the boat and head back in. HUGE crow flew over head and started singing. Had a squirrel call in my bag and called him in with that (I can get it to make a cawing sound).
I've noticed that crows will come to almost any sound, at least until they get educated. They are curious by nature. I called in my largest group off crows ever with a rabit in distress call. The problem was, we were hunting coyotes and didn't have a shotgun between us.
I made a predator caller out of a Radio Shack amp and a PA horn, and got crow calls of the internet onto my ipod. It drives them crazy to hear a big crow fight they're not a part of.
