I'll definitely do the headsup next time. I'd never shoot a raven: really bad luck and there's a saying, "Kill a raven, kill and Indian" and that would be very wrong with my Lakota family. Plus, ravens help finding deer and game, hoping to get the leavings which I always do as an offering. Crow on the other hand is a trickster like coyote, and I'll shoot them no problem--and coyote's not bad braised or Southern-style bbqed. Might try coyote next time in a stew like they do in Korea....lots and lots chili! Thanks, Hank! I’ll definitely do the headsup next time.

I've actually eaten the innards after 3 days aging, with no ill effects, but your method is just as good. One switch I'd recommend is to hang from the neck not feet, so any ick that drains does so away from the breast meat and into your paper towels. As for crow, I am not overly religious, but I view it as very bad luck to kill a crow or raven. They have always been my friends in the forest, and I don't eat my friends...

I'll have to check it out when the seasons opens up again next year. Aging crow would definitely help, I think, and the aging process would just be a bit shorter, like 2 days instead of 3-4.

My Mema would use similar techniques for doing her chickens and all of Pepas bird kills as well. Pepa really liked Crow a lot but they always wound up either pan fried or boiled and placed into dumplin's. You reckon that Crow is too small or could the same methods which you describe here apply as well? Great and useable advise Cork!
