[QUOTE="lewwetzel, post: 1067143, member: 21496"] I'd say crows. Poked one that was walking at just over 200 yards with a .22 Hornet last fall, but I consider that a lucky shot; I've missed many at half that distance with more-accurate rifles. They're all feathers. A tip: let the dead ones lie and their buddies will hover and squawk as they mourn their dead comrade(s), usually long enough to enable at least another shot. I once had a synergistic crow-killing experience with a hawk as my helper. On a day it was legal to shoot crows (stupid Fed law), I noticed a "murder" of crows (that's what it's called, really) harassing a hawk sitting in a tree outside the barn window. Was able to reach the .17 HMR rifle I keep there for just such an occasion and shoot one of the worthless black sobs. A (probably) puzzled but grateful Mr. Hawk immediately left his perch and literally shredded the carcass. More frenzied crows came in. Being that close I could pick an easy shot and it was the same scenario. One more time and the crows finally wised-up and split. I swear the well-fed hawk looked at me as if he wished he could have given me a "high five" as he flew away. :) [/QUOTE]
