I just got access to hunt a pistachio farm this weekend. This will be my 1st crow hunt on Private Property. Should be pretty fun and hopefully get more crows than I have been seeing on public land. Taking my 11 year old Daughter who just got her license saturday. PS: What size shot should we use? 6 or 7.5...

It's a pretty involved process - but he's been painting and staining with me for many years, so the sanding and staining and varnishing he's got down. It was a little scary for him when he started drilling holes in the shells to receive the hardware - after spending all his savings on them (over $1000) -...

A few weeks ago,I shot a crowthat had a single white feather. How common is that? I was thinking of saving it, but I'll just say it was too good a of shot to save the bird. Anyone else see one like that? I have talked to a few others and they had never seen it, so I thought it was interesting. Crow hunting is cer...

Another decent shoot, this time with a friend. Decided to rest the sunflower field for a few days so we set up along a flight path across a river about a mile from this field. Location was a small open area in an otherwise well treed river valley. Nothing showed until about 09:30 as my friend was beginn...

I have tried the different calls on crows and have left the owl out. I am not having any luck. I found a murder of 40 birds the other day and they were on the road sucking up rocks it seems. I drove thru them and went about another 200 yds up the road out of sight. Parked the truck and went into the corn field...

Leaving the house yesterday morning, I saw some crows under the pecan trees between our house and a tractor shed. Because the nuts are just starting to drop, I thought it was time to go into action. This morning I set out some decoys for a solo hunt using the hand call. I was finished and all cleaned up by...

Just returned from the 2nd Pnut shoot of 2011. Picked up 42. Lost 2 in the woods. I shot with the land owners son (14) he is an excellent shot. He can put a bead on a crow faster than anybody I've seen. He only missed one bird..The snake in the picture is one trhat came crusing by the blind and got both our...

Shesh, the MI season is almost over and I realized that I have not shared any pics yet this year. So, I headed out this AM and took a couple pics to share.

How many of you guys have one of these??? Winchester Model 1911 S.L. I have had this gun since I was a pre teen. It has a full choke on it and shoots tighter than any shotgun I have ever had. All I can remember about it, is that the old man that gave it to me told me that it saw action in the trenches during WWI. I c...

Hello everyone, I have been lurking for a little while on and off and finally decided to join!

Ever wonder why the wait is so long for crow season to get here? It seems like it takes for ever to get here. Once here it seems like it goes way to fast. When ever I travel out of state to hunt crows the drive to the state seems longer (time wise) than the drive back, why? Perhaps anticipation going to the hunt...

My friend Bruce and I shot over P-Nuts today and picked up 98 to start off the 2011 season. It was absolutely the worst shooting by the both of us AND my Maxus stopped firing right in the middle of large groups coming in. The Maxus firing pin would not go deep enough into the primer of the shell to fire the rou...

Had a quick shoot this morning on the edge of a small local cemetery. Years of gravel extraction has taken a good portion of the hill away to the south. This is one of my favorite blinds as a good sized fall roost often develops in the woods to the south. Blind is located at the edge of a steep cliff lik...

A bit of low key backyard airgun practice with the master this morning. Heard a crow back in the bush so by instinct I pressed the foxpro into service and it turned out to be a crow shoot.
