To "clean" a crow for eating is easy... and will still leave some bait for coyotes (this should make NYnovice happy lol).
All that is worth eating is the breast meat. What you do is make a cut across the crow where the ribs come together (and some people make a vertical cut up to the neck, like an upside down T) then you use your fingers to pull the "breast medallion" out (kinda like shucking an oyster). They are about the size of a lime or bigger.
There are better instructions on crowbusters.
Then what many guys do is to carry a big ziplock bag, and clean each batch of crows as they go, and put them back out as decoys. Place them tail into the wind the feathers will blow around giving it some motion.
The meat is red and some say kinda beefy, most people cook it in a ton of flavoring (often BBQ sauce) but it's not really necessary. Cook them up in your favorite chicken recipe. Or marinate them in Italian salad dressing.
You guys that are shooting lots of crows are throwing away a lot of good meat... something I was taught never to do, but I'm not makin' any judgement calls here /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif , the idea seemed gross to me at first too... 'til I remembered what sick little dudes chickens were to raise. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I hope this helps,
