Is your rifle scoped or open sights? I prefer open sites myself because of the barrel droop effect. Scopes are nice for low light though. We have a terrible problem with hoards of long tailed grackles here in Central Texas, they are a pest and not originally from here. But because they are Federally protected we cannot admit to shooting them, poison, etc. I bet people do it though.

My one son is a district judge, other is a state trooper Clearly, they had a prime example of what not to do and chose the right path in life because of it. Good for them. Pose your motto ("It's only illegal if I get caught") to them and get their take on it. Betcha I know the answer...

Is your rifle scoped or open sights? I prefer open sites myself because of the barrel droop effect. Scopes are nice for low light though. We have a terrible problem with hoards of long tailed grackles here in Central Texas, they are a pest and not originally from here. But because they are Federally protected we cannot admit to shooting them, poison, etc. I bet people do it though. Grackles aren't protected.

I could be wrong... I have also heard from a fairly reliable source that these birds can be killed when doing damage or about to do damage... They are ALWAYS ABOUT TO DO DAMAGE... Again I did not read this, but I know several state game laws state crows may be taken when they are doing damage.. Molon Labe

Grackles used to be unprotected in PA, but I don't know about now. Bluejays were unprotected in PA as well at one time, but fall under the crow treaty now, as well as probably the general ban on killing songbirds. At the time I got my first couple of non-res PA licenses, there was actually a bounty on Great Horned owls. Not so much nowadays! What fresh Hell is this?
