This is a cohen brother motif, it parallels the motorcycle bandit from raising arizona who shoots at a lizard.

I always interpreted this scene as a foreshadowing of Chigurh's fate, in which he doesn't die after various near-death situations. The fact he's scaring off the crow -- a bird that represents impending doom, mostly death -- kind of foreshadows that death will not be of any circumstance for Anton later on.

He doesn't shoot the bird, he shoots the aluminum bridge rail/post the bird is sitting on, and it flies away unharmed.

@retroguitarmaster if he was doing it for sport, he wouldn't have missed

[retroguitarmaster]

everyone sees this scene as a foreshadow and try to look a meaning for it but they can't see that he's only doing this for sport, he's a psychopath, he doesn't need a reason to do this, and doesn't need to think about it (had he hit the bird)

Chigurh is like a more dark version of the apocalyptic bounty hunter in Raising Arizona

First of all... My husband is using my account to make comments on that which I do not care about. Secondly, he says you're an idiot. He does know his guns.

@Spunkie7girl @ point blank it doesn't matter, thanks for nothing.

[Spunkie7girl]

@biggiedickson it's with the tec 9 not the shotgun.

[biggiedickson]

@UltraEpicLoser Yea the bird fly's away unscathed by a point blank shotgun blast...

He misses, it's for a reason. Cohen bros for you.

[UltraEpicLoser]

@Vlaxerman343 He doesnt miss.
