Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Turkeys versus Crows

They're a migratory bird, but you don't need a HIP number here (or anywhere, I don't think) to hunt them. You can hunt them with a regular hunting license.

We don't have ravens in eastern Virginia. We do have them in the mountains in the western part of the state. They are huge. I saw one injured standing in the road and it was every bit as big, or bigger, than a Redtailed Hawk. I've seen ravens a lot in California desert, too. There they are a major predator of endangered juveline Desert Tortises. No doubt they could easily take a turkey poult as big as they are. I'm curious if there is a distinction between crows and ravens in terms of hunting regulations.
