Wabbit stew... or is that a rat?

Abigail cooks dinner in the kitchen as Johns enters. He criticizes her cooking but at least both agree she's been a good wife. The subject changes to their son Jack. John doesn't think he'll be going into the same life as John given the changing world that's turning the Old West around. As the couple enjoys a moment some crows are heard. Abigail says they broke into the silo to eat the corn again. She intervenes with John's taste testing of the stew and gets him to take care of the crows.

Let the feathers fly

Outside the house, walk towards the silo ahead. Crows will be all over the top and a meter appears at the top of your screen to show how much corn is left. Simply scare the crows with a gunshot and wait for them to attempt going back in through the top opening. Shoot five of those crows and any others if you wish - you might shoot the five needed early. After the crows give up and fly away, John will turn his attention back to the stew. All in a hard day's work.

Gold Tips

• Run over to the silo and shoot a crow to stir them up. I like to stand off to the left in order to get a good view of the crows trying to enter the silo opening.
• Shoot five of the crows trying to get in. Their appearance while flying towards the opening should be obviously different from the others flying around.
• Note: A very fast but not 100% reliable option is to use dynamite. Scare up the crows with a gunshot and quickly equip dynamite. Enter Dead-Eye and mark a crow flying around. Throw the stick and it will literally follow the bird. The explosion might take out all or most of the crows needed. You can complete this mission in less than 30 seconds with this method but be careful you don't destroy the silo which will fail the mission. You also get only +50 Fame for using dynamite.
