Crow story
(Preview)
In the very early 1950's my father used to hunt a lot of crows in New Jersey. He was friends with the local game warden and sometimes they even hunted together. Well one day he was having an early dinner at this Japanese steak house and he was with his friend the game warden. The warden and my father didn't h...

Contact info for Mincey call?
(Preview)
I just got a Mincey call from Crowmart and am having problems with it locking up on me. I would like to talk to Jack to see if I am doing anything wrong with it. I cant put my teeth anywhere past the tip (and I mean tip,not even to the cut out groove) or the thing locks up more. I like the call but need to figure out...

Shot my first sporting clays today
(Preview)
I went out to our local WMA today and shot my first round of sporting clays. It is a really nice facility. They had golf cart to use or you could use their bag carts. There were 12 stations with some easy and some not so much. There was one crossing shot that was a ways out there. I don't think I ever touched one...

65 yard pattern test - 6 vs. 7.5
(

)
(Preview)
Well we were curious too. Remember the old adage more is always better? Seems to not always work that way with shotguns. Which shot size runs out of pattern density as range extends 6's or 7.5's? Logic would say the load with far fewer pellets, testing proved something different. The following t...

Knocked off a Mallardtone call from ebay today to go along with my Gibson(s) and Mincey call. Now that I have arguably the three best calls, I will have no excuse for sounding so freaking "caw"ful. Season ends March 31st so I will have the summer to practice. I enjoy it though. Don't think m...

They're Starting to Catch On!!

Went out this morning without a whole lot of anticipation, the area I've been hunting was absolutely void of crows yesterday afternoon when I went out to scout the area. I'm pretty sure most of the migraters have moved further to the north, but ya know ya can't kill anything if you don't go out.. I was fai...

Compromise

Does anyone else get tired of reading about 6 shot vs. 7 1/2 shot? Is anyone out hunting or just sitting at the computer trying to get their point across? I say compromise and shoot 6.75 shot! Hammer

I was driving along this past Saturday about 1/2 mile from my house. As I passed a group of trees close to the road I could hear many crows screaming, even through the closed windows of my truck. So I turned around and drove back and here are these 2 crows on the ground that were causing all the "crowd...

Rain - better the day before or the day after
(Preview)
As many veterans are aware crows are not as active on rainy days. Many animals have a sense of changing weather and react to it. What is your experience, are they moving more before a rainy day or more the day after the rain, or both.

A shoot like October today (pics)

A great but unexpected shoot today. We hunted in nearby Maine starting in the early morning with a pair of 10ga's. The spring migration was on and we witnessed many very high north bound birds strung out and showing no interest. As the morning wore on we got all the shooting we could handle and we wer...

Patterning Question?

Has anyone ever shot the same piece of paper multiple times then divided the circle into the number of times shot and counted the strikes?
Example
Shoot a paper 4 times. Fold it in half then fold it in half again. When it is opened it would have 4 quarters. Count all strikes in one section and you would...

Hello all
(Preview)
I've been lurking around this site for some time now and thought I should finally join. Things are a bit slow now, as far as a lot of crows (at least for me anyways) as winter is winding down, but should start to heat up soon. I do have the luxury of a year round open season though, so I have that going for me. My...

Old Style Carrylite/Sportplast Crow Decoys with Feet

I'm trying to obtain some of the old style carrylite crow decoys with feet. I don't think they have made them for several years now. I think they were actually made by Sportplast from Italy. These are the ones with the flat foot bases that measure about 5" wide by 2.5" front to back. They w...
