I shot an illegal deck when I was 12. I plucked it and removed the head and feet before I brought it home - Dad asked “What’s that?” I said “It’s a crow.” Dad said “You know the rule - you shoot it you eat it.”
That night after dinner Dad said “Best damn crow I ever ate.” with a twinkle in his eye.
