Re: did i hit it?
I actually think you shot it between the ving and the chest,
first look in the vid made me sure you had a center chest hit,
second and third replay, note the disturbed feather to the left of the chest,
did it fly off?
If so, yes then you missed, far to much energy in that round not to slam the crow.

Super crow. I've had the same thing happen before, but with crows there will always be more of them.

Re: did i hit it?
I'm calling a hit, and a crow that didn't realise he was dead. Strange to not get any broken feathers though. Those things are tough! They usually fly a hundred yards before they flop. You should try my 14/221 Walker for that size animal. It will send a puff of feathers for 20 feet with the 12 grain bullet.

i hit a crow before with a small game head and hit him dead on. he flew into the tree across the street. a few hours later, i saw a dead crow on the lawn that the tree was on. ha.

Re: did i hit it?
i call it a hit...but i've never seen a crow do that before. i've only ever hit them with 22mag and using the 30gr vmax they make quite a mess.

Re: did i hit it?
I'm gonna say you just clipped the left side of him between his body and the wing. As someone above said strange to not see any feathers but that's my guess. Probably died with in a day.

Re: did i hit it?
Can't post this sort of thing Spud without giving up the details...bullet/chambering/range/etc.
I'm wag'ing .22 cal FMJ?...at maybe 200 yards?
Cell phone camera?
There's a few feathers, go to 0:18, large screen, and keep hitting the mouse button to replay the hit.
Low res vid, the feathers are jumbled up with the shadows....
Why didn't it explode?
Dunno, seen it happen with a turkey a buddy shot years ago with a .243. That bird ran for several hundred yards with it's breast meat blown to hell and it's guts draggin' on the ground. Perfect waste of a good bird, IMO.
Shit happens.......

Paying attention to the small details is the name of the game...
Was just curious if it was a frangible bullet, that's where you'd get a pile of crow goo.
What's the video look like played back on your computer screen, any clearer detail of the impact?

Re: did i hit it?
You hit its feathers no body though if you watch like said up above went between the wing and chest.Alot of feathers there make them look bigger than they are.You missed
This is what they look like when you "HIT" them.

+1. Not doggin the OP but it does look that the round went left. Almost thinking it was center mass but looking at the position of the head, it must be the beek and the way the sun reflects off of it.
