They are not protected as they are a foreign invader and thus not subject to the crow act provisions - so long as you kill them in a humane manner so that you dont fall foul of the animal cruelty laws, and take care not to spread them to avoid messing with the EA I think it is doubtful that the old bill will care
If you dont have permission I supose you could be technically guilty of poaching, but that would require a complaint from the landowner who probably doesnt give a flip - The boys in blue almost certainly have more important things to worry about than illict crayfish eating.
I doubt that Airehead can grass you up either - unless you know each other, as it is likely that the cops would need a bit more in the way of ID than just a forum pseodonym
Fill your boots and happy munching (try em with butter and lemon) - if we all followed your example perhaps we could wipe out the blighters.
