SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Wildlife Board cleared a new species for hunting in Utah, and starting this fall Utah hunters can set their sights on crow.
Wildlife officials said crow populations have grown steadily over the years and that the crows are a nuisance in some areas, which is why they’ve approved the addition of crows.
According to a press release from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, crows can damage fruit, corn and grain crops in parts of Utah. The animals also raid nests and steal eggs from other birds. Officials also said crows damage trees and cause disturbances in urban areas.
Gene Baierschmidt, executive director of the Humane Society of Utah, said they oppose the measure.
