You're not paying attention. As I've already stated, our permission comes through our respective states. This sentence is key: without prior authorization by the Department of Interior U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Again (pay attention this time), that "prior authorization", or "permit", is provided through our states' game laws. It's really pretty simple, Randy. It's perfectly legal for us, under federal law, to shoot crows if our states have laws under which we can do so.
