It's illegal to shoot crows in North America.

No, they’re a regulated species, with hunting seasons in most states

Thanks for the info. I'm reading that as states other than Hawaii can permit it, but not all of them do.

There appears to be no hunting of crows in Ohio based on what I've found on their natural resource site. Though they could allow it if they wanted to do so.

Crows tend to also be game animals, so states manage the populations and set bag limits, seasons, etc. In my state it is definitely legal, and one doesn't even need HIP registration.

Which state is that? Crows are not ducks or turkeys

Every US state, except Hawaii, have a crow season with state controls.

I would like to believe that, but I'm not seeing anything about it in the hunting regulations for my state:

Could you point me to something on a government site I'm missing? Only info I've seen is on SEO spam sites with content likely generated by an algorithm

>(I) It shall be unlawful for any person to hunt or take crows at any time except on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from June 3, 2022 through March 5, 2023 and from June 2, 2023 through March 3, 2024, one-half hour before sunrise to sunset.

I'm not kidding. Every state but Hawaii has a crow season.

Search that PDF for “crow”

It’s in there, under Small Game and Furbearer HUNTING
