Yep they do that. I remember one time I was trying to shoot one, I brought my gun out, and put a shell in, but when i moved the bolt, damn bird was gone. Next time I walked out there with the gun loaded, and the damn bird knew, he flew away as soon as he seen me!

That is why you use camo. My wife shakes her head when I am dressed up in my gillie suit to try to shoot a crow.

Or snipe them from 300 yards with a 222. The hardest part about that is not giggilling while you are aiming
