I believe shooting crows is definitely against federal law. They are considered indigenous migratory birds and hence are protected.
Not so:
Per the Florida 2002-2003 Hunting Regulations handbook:
"Migratory nongame birds that are causing damage to trees, crops, livestock or wildlife, or that are concentrated in such numbers that they are a nuisance, may be taken under permit issued by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Blackbirds, grackles, cowbirds, and
crows may be taken without permit when they are causing such damage." (Emphasis mine)
Also:

They may be federally protected but they are dead meat down here........................for them I do not have a recipe though!
I did have a crow recipe at one time. There's a website dedicated to crow shooters and it was listed on it. Never had the
"pleasure(?)" of trying it though.

Capybara? Who turned those loose in Florida? Them thar is Amazon-jungle critters, according to National Geographic, etc. Jaguars luvvum. (Dunno 'bout Ferraris.)
Art, dunno who released them, but they are here. Surprisingly they aren't too much of a problem yet. Several have been spotted in the area of the Suwannee and Santa Fe Rivers in North Central Florida (ie down the road from the house).
The first case I remember hearing of was back in 1995 a fellow was fishing from the bank of the Suwannee when a Capybara accosted him. Not recongnizing what it was, but recongnizing that it didn't belong, he shot it, (Smart guy actually) and brought the carcass to the Commission. So yeah, they're here.

Yes, those years of honing my culinary skills were not wasted Swampgator!! ................and you CAN use this recipe to prepare other denizens of the swamp.
BTW, it is always a treat to see you here. Hope the family is doing well.
Just glad I never took you up on the free meal offer!
Everything's cool up here, literally, we set a new record low temp the other night!
Rob fell while cleaning the bullet traps and separated his shoulder plus has a nasty, I mean really nasty bruise on his hip. But other than that everybodies good.
