Slow to dead crow hunting sites.
(Preview)
All the crow hunting sites are either slow to dead. What is your input as to why? Why the lack of interest? Nobody doing any good? Loss of places to hunt? The internet?

Electronic game caller warning crows?
(Preview)
I have a couple of crow calls on a lanyard that go on my hunts and I have a couple more that stay in the locker because I just don’t feel confident with the sounds I produce with them. I also have an electronic caller that shares duty between crow and coyote hunting. Twenty four crow songs are stored in the el...

Winter 2025
(Preview)
Hey guys, We've had an open winter so far. Had a couple inches before Christmas, but nothing more than a skiff since. It's been pretty cold. Our hunt 18 Jan. was chilly and windy. 15 degrees with the wind NNW at 15-25 and gusts over 30. We got out of the wind pretty good but unless the crows stayed down the...

Fall 2024
(Preview)
We've started working on them with mixed success since the first of November. Not finding them where we expected and when we did find a few the shooting was slow and the crows wary. Not a good way to shake the rust off. Hoping for more success, we headed out on 11 Nov. to scout Monday and hunt the next two...

Site is rather dead
(Preview)
Just an observation, the Crowbusters website seems rather dead. A lot of folks have up and disappeared, only a dozen people have logged in so far this year with just 16 posts since Jan 1, the Administrator hasn't logged in for 9 months. Is the CrowMart still open? I miss the old days.

Crow camo opinions

Hey fellow Crowbusters, I'm in the early stages of designing/making some new hunting apparel. Just wondering if y'all had any strong opinions (for or against) the main camo patterns that are out there?

My question today is how do crows react in the wind and what approach should we take on them. There is a crow hunt tomorrow and were expecting winds 25 to 30 mph. How do the crows act on days like this also high tempature is 32. Any advice on how we should hunt them? We planned on setting up in our favorite fiel...

I have always hunted the crop fields thus far as I am a bit nervous about the cows. However, the largest pasture there has about a dozen large old pecan trees in it. The...

As good of weather and conditions as we had last fall, the start of the winter season was miserable for hunting crows. Two snowstorms inside a week left a couple feet on the ground. Coupled with 30-40 mph winds and we couldn't get anywhere. It got pretty cold too, we had four days in a row when it didn't ge...
