to collect before sun set, but don't inter
rupt them until a little after sun down.
else they Will go somewhere else. But
little after sun down if you are a pretty
good shot with a good barrel shot
gun you should be able to bag at least
ten or more. A dead crow makes the best
scare crow to hang up in a field l have
yet seen.
Answer: 1t is the habit OF most grega-
rious birds to have a common roosting
place-after the nesting season is over
