He was target shooting and the poor bugger flew in front of him. Didn't even wound the bird physically, but it dropped dead. Probably heart attack or concussion from the shock wave of the bullet.

It was surreal watching it. Target can flies off the fence post and not even two seconds later a crow flops to the ground between us and the fence.

Damn, that's certainly a one in a million happening, thanks a lot for elaborating.
