Hunters from Pierce, Hadar, Battle Creek, Plainview, Norfolk and other near-by towns united in killing the pests. Two planes belonging to Andrew Risser of Norfolk, Nebraska drove great flocks of the birds into several groves on the farm, where the hunters lay in wait. The carnage was something awful to the black-winged pests. With hundreds of guns pumping shot into the trees, it is said the dead crows falling to the ground reminded one of shaking a ripe plum thicket. It was hard to estimate the casualty to the crow family but it numbered up into the thousands. The hunt attracted a thousand or more persons.
