Other Successful Crow Shooters:
Dick Kilbane is only the second person on record having over 100,000 crows to his name. As of 2012, Dick had harvested 112,340 crows. In addition, he is the only person known to have killed over 1,000 crows in a single day by himself, and he has achieved that feat twice. His highest single day body counts are 1,212 and 1,052, far more than most hunters will shoot in a lifetime.
Boyd Robeson of Sioux City, Iowa hunted crows for over 40 years. No one will ever know the exact number of crows he killed, but 70,000 would be a very conservative estimate. He bagged over 16,000 in a single season. Boyd's key contribution to the sport was teaching and mentoring Bob Aronsohn in his early years of crow shooting in Kansas.
In 42 years of crow shooting, Jim Lundquist estimates that he has harvested over 80,000 crows. Many of his shoots have been in the company of Bob Aronsohn.
