Can You Spot my Blind?
(Preview)
Tossed and turned last night with the thought of a few crows still around as I am a hopeless crow shooting addict with no hope of rehablilitation. Awoke at 6AM to find overcast conditions and a stiff wind from the northwest. Perfect crow hunting conditions. Loaded the truck and off like a flash! Quick...

Crows were a bit tardy but managed 23 by 10:00AM with several possibles and a magpie to top the pile off. All shot with my favorite dai...

All you have to do when putting your deek up is stick the plastic spike into the pvc. I have black tape all the way down my spike that helps with t...

We've got some new crows in town
(Preview)
We picked 3 more on the walk back to the truck for a total of 48 this morning with a pair of 10ga doubles. It feels like summer with a forecast of low 80's today and tomorrow but there are some new birds in the area. It should get better for the next few weeks. [IMG]https://i269.photobucket.com/albums...

STEEL SHOT

I know a few of you have mentioned having to use steel shot on public land. We don't here in Maine. (Not for crows anyway) Last week I was on my favorite "Wood duck honey hole" when several crows flew past harrassing an owl. I called to them with my voice and a few turned back. For Woodies at that c...

Solo Sunflower hunt

Found a good concentration of crows feeding in some standing sunflower. Managed to secure permission after 09:00 AM as I didn't want to wake the farmer up too early. Dusted about 40 odd crows before 11:00. All with a 16 gauge as they played in on the breeze so nicely that I almost felt sorry for them. D...
