I don't believe there is an open season on ravens anywhere in the lower 48.

If there is, there shouldn't be.

Dean, That would have been in the early 1950's. In the part of the Blue Ridge where I summered, there was bounty on crows and ravens. No distinction was made. Ravens were rare that far south but did travel the mountain ridges down almost to South Carolina. I gave up shooting crows many years ago and there is a good sized flock around my house. I can recognize some of their voices from year to year. Deer, that's what I shoot. We have a problem with them and they have helped spread dangerous diseases via the deer tick. Cheers, David

If I'm not mistaken we can hunt them in Virginia monday wednesday friday and saturday like 9 months out of the year .

FWIW a good portion of the crows I've shot over the years were done when I was shooting groundhogs !

We'd just use the old groundhog rifle and shoot them from the hood of the truck !

I've been doing my level best to decimate the deer population in a couple central Virginia places !
We've way layed 14 so far this year . I'm hoping to get 5 more myself before the end of the month when or DCP's run out !

Shooting out of a car window was legal?
