We have lots of Ravens here also...but still have the season for the Crow. What is it...120 days I think, by Federal law?
That's what I have heard... but there are a few states that have NO closed season at all (crow shooting 365 - pig heaven).
From what I have heard, the crow protection came in by accident in an old treaty with Mexico, and while some states are fervent about enforcement, others have a "What the hell" attitude, and haven't done anything about it.
When I lived in Pennsylvania, they had closed seasons, but crows could be shot under "depredation rules" (from the Latin, meaning "to Plunder").
So if a crow was, or about to: eat crops or crop seeds, harm song birds or their eggs, or any "etc", they could be shoot.
The Game wardens took the attitude that crows are ALWAYS on the way to depredate, so shooting them anytime was OK.
I was just fine with that!
