Non traditional birds for training?

[Mr. 16 gauge]

One of the prior members on here, the name of which escapes me right now, warned me against using crows because they are essentially raptors with hooked beaks that could poke out Nitro's eye.

That could have very well been me.....I have the scars on my hands from a couple of "Not-so-dead" crows that I went to pick up and finish off....they had other ideas! Black bastards actually drew blood! I don't mess around with that anymore.....take the .22 pistol and finish them off with that.

I wasn't planning on taking her, but rather bringing the crows home (after making sure they are completely, not merely, .....and certrifiably DEAD!) and using them for yard training.
