Over 700 crows killed the first day. People complain that the birds poop all over their homes and cars, because God forbid they cover their garbage so the birds aren't attracted. So all the local red-necks swill some beer and go out into the country side and play macho-man. The fact that the roost inside the city is completely different from the roost outside the city doesn't seem to matter.

Crow Hunt On in Auburn
by R News Staff
Published Feb 12, 2005
The controversial crow hunt in underway in the city of Auburn.
City leaders have been trying to force out tens of thousands of the birds for years.
The roost, which was 68,000 strong months ago, has been reduced to 27,000 by non-lethal methods.
Pyrotechnics, lasers and noisemakers were used.
“You have to look for the areas where they feed, where they roost,†said Mark Clark, the crow hunt organizer. “They fly in, they fly out, two different times a day, in the morning and in the afternoon. There's two different flights. A lot of time you try and find a farmer and a lot of times if you ask them they have no problem."
This is the fifth year Auburn has had a crow hunt.
Organizers say the dead crows will be donated for scientific research.

Yes, yes you think you're in a hick town. Ever been to Georgetown, Texas *vomit*. Last year we had a race war, yay! I believe 90% of the population is republican, we had week long parties when we got our first wal-mart. We then had a fiesta at the new tractor farm and supply. About a 500000:1 gun to people ratio. You'll find more hunting bumper stickers and mounted deer heads than people (that part is true). Ever read the you might be a redneck if in regards to if you ahve a gun rack on a blah. It's a badge of honour to have a gun rack in the back seat of your car. *empathy empathy*

Crows... such an interesting creature. I hope something like The Birds ends up going on in your hometown...

Which Auburn?
Vix2005-02-21 08:07:50
Sounds like... Auburn, Alabama? I'm taking a guess based on the red-neck remark.

Auburn NY actually. The North East's own little piece of backwoods. We even have NASCAR fans and a Bass Pro shop.
Akraasiel2005-02-21 17:26:00
You dont know backwoods till youve been to Michigan. Trust me. We clim trees, and marry our cousins (some even marry siblings directly so they dont have to deal with the hassel of meeting all their cousins). Families dont have trees here, we have hula hoops. Every house has at least one gun in it, most houses have 3-12. We arent a town, we are a village. There are more cows than people. We have laws concerning the number of sheep you can have grazing on your lawn in the village proper. (A maximum of one per two square meters of property) My graduating class in high school had a pregnancy rate of 76% of all females that year. There are only three people of non european descent within thirty miles. More than two thirds of the roads are unpaved, and the paved ones havent been fixed in a decade at least. Yesterday I watched my neighbor walk out onto his back porch in his shorts (midwinter), piss off of it, walk back inside, get his gun, then blow a hole in a rabbit which was hopping across his yard.
This is what it means to live in hickville.

oh my god.... Akraasiel, you need to make a movie about your town.

West Virignia beats any hick town in the U.S
The radio show here called up random people in West Virginia and asked them how many teeth they were missing.
Without missing a beat most people said how many, almost always more than 1.
The one person they found who said 0, just moved into the neighborhood not 2 weeks ago.

Hickville can be bad, but bourgessois suburbs have their own problems. Quotes:
"My conselour has a high opinion of you. He says you're a good friend."
"Alright, Tommy, no computer for you. It's strictly video games for tonight."
"I hate visiting my grandparents on their yacht. They don't have a single good jacuzzi..."
