Speaking of this......There was a hell of a commotion the other day, just up from my driveway.  Crows, about 10 of them were all worked up about something, so I go out into the road to look up that way and 2 crows were in the road working over a young rabbit, and all the others were circling around cheering them on.  WHY?    

Crows don't eat rabbits !!!!    🤔

                 Crows do eat everything. They will peck the eyeballs out of newborn sheep and other young animals. Omnivores eating what they can. They have a mob mentality and group of them throughout time have been given names that reflect this.

I've seen 2 in person, both at night and the one up close was a no doubter.  The second one went across the road in front of us in a sxs, I caught a glimpse of the back of it,  but my buddy driving saw the whole thing. 

Saw the trail cam pic of the one that killed the calf on the neighboring farm. Was a big one and possibly the one we saw that night. 

I prefer not to see them though lol.   Bobcats are cool to watch, big cats I'm good not being that close.  Especially when it's pitch black outside. 

If I ever felt threatened I'd def shoot, If the one watching my daughter and I came towards is he would of got lot up. I generally just try to avoid inviting the law into my life though and the only predators I hunt are yotes.

I've seen 2 in Morgan co.  

One (the biggest) walked right in on us while we were cutting/loading wood and making all kinds of racket.  Acted like someone's pet.

The other was seen quietly wandering the bank along Brushy creek cove (Purvis) and acted more like a wild critter.
