Since I got started using the internet, I've become quite experienced eating crow. Want a recipe?

Here it is:

Crow ala Taurus.
Mike Cumpston
I got this idea from a pre-outdoor channel documentary about shooting crows in Kansas. The hunters told how to soak crow breasts in brine to shake loose the subcutaneous membrane and then cooked them some way or another. I had always heard that crows were inedible and am reasonably convinced that this was merely an attempt to sugar coat the practice of shooting crows to keep the general public from whining about it.
The recipe is concocted with two major purposes in mind: Render the dense, deep-purple meat as flavorful as possible; and, kill any random parasites that might be present.
1. Obtain Crow- any crow will do. This one was sniped with a Taurus .17 Tracker shortly before general distribution began. The details will be found in an American Handgunner Article.
2. Remove core and jacket remnants including the plastic tip. ( the major portion of the core ezited but there were enough fragments left behind to make it way neat)
3. Remove entrails, head and feet and yank out all feathers.
4. Soak in salt water over night- remove tough outer membrane from breast
5. Lay the carcass on a large sheet of aluminum foil –salt and pepper. Stuff the body cavity with onion slices and mushrooms.
6. Moisten with a generous dollop of Old Crow Kentucky Whiskey. Wrap and seal foil around the meat.
7. Bake in oven until tender. I had planed on 1.5 hours but went to sleep after drinking a peg of the remaining Old Crow and didn’t get back to the oven until over 2 hours had passed.

The finished bird retains its purplish hew. The meat is relatively tender. (relative to possum) . It retains a rather smoky flavor-the kind of smoke you might get from cooking over rolled up newspapers. It reminded me of visits to local shotgun shacks that were heated with the stainless steal “Paper Stoves” that were actually designed to used newspaper rolls for fuel.
Crow ala Taurus is a welcome break from ordinary fare. The dangers of picking up parasitic organisms or West Nile Virus are greatly exaggerated
