Steve asked about which animals are said to have been hunted in Mayberry. I'm 
not sure if shooting crows qualifies as hunting or not, but anyway here are 
some animals Andy is said to hunt:

Frog hunting/gigging in The New Housekeeper and The Inspector

Ducks in Opie and the Carnival

Quail in The Clubmen

"Northern Honkers" (geese, I assume) in High Noon in Mayberry

Tigers (jokingly) in Opie the Birdman

There's a mounted deer head in Andy's living room in some early episodes, so 
maybe he hunts deer as well. Also, Goober goes on a hunting trip in Goober 
Makes History, but I don't recall if any specific prey was mentioned, and Dud 
Wash "keeps his nose to the possum hole" during possum season. Ernest T. Bass 
mentions a .22 repeater in one episode and possum steaks in another episode, so 
he probably hunts or traps as well. 

If hunting people counts, Andy and Barney sometimes go out on a man hunt (or 
woman hunt) and Opie and hs friends consider "hunting Indians" in Runaway Kid.
