My First post. I started crow hunting 3 years ago. I started by reading crow busters to learn as much as i could, and still check it out on a regular basis. I'm located in Southeastern Illinois and hunt primarily in a 2 county area where i have located a couple roost that supply some decent shooting. E...

I thought I would post a few pics of my hunts this year. This first one was my best hunt since I've learned how to do this. It took place at a farm about 30 minutes north and was a new place for me. The farmer was kind enough to ride me around in his truck and show me potential spot to hunt. I ended-up doing a m...

Here are some waterfowl photos that some of you waterfowlers might enjoy. These are ducks that you will not see in North America.

Greetings busters of crows! As many of you know, Michigan has a split season. We hunt crows in the months of August, September, February, and March. There is always crows to be had no matter what month you hunt. I have had varying degrees of success in all of our available months to hunt.....some pre...

The march continues. The Woke Crowd now wants us to make friends with crows and tells us how in this article. Maybe we can learn from it...to improve our hunting. For example, one tip mentioned is to sit quietly while waiting for the bird to approach and avoid quick movements (i.e. Keep your barrel s...

Went out this morning with Larry The Master Machinist (really, he is) to see if any uneducated crows were lurking about. Went to a place we had not visited since 2020. Of ten within reasonable range we got six. So, a good hour + for us. However, there were many educated bandits which were up in the stratos...

Hey all, We spent the month of February and into March battling wary crows. A lot of half days with kill numbers in the mid twenties when with cooperative birds, three or more times that could have been had. A bit frustrating, but still fun. Our best two hunts were 79 and 97. The latter, a cold late Feb....

After getting a few seasons under my belt and paying attention to what I need in a blind and what I do not, I went to work on one that would fit all the needs I am aware of at this time. This new blind concept had to meet a few criteria:Had to come in under 50lbs.Had to be compact.Had to provide ample room for two...

Hey guys, We hunted four times in the last couple weeks and weren't real satisfied with the results. We downed 100 our first time out in good conditions. 32 degrees, a light breeze and partly cloudy. Had a lull in the middle of the day before things picked up at around 2:00. We were stuck on 99, but determ...

I saved some wood from a post oak limb from my old grandparents house and a camellia bush I cut down.. I delivered the wood to Daryal Gosey in Bostic, NC. I asked Daryal to make some calls.

That is 150 between my partner and I. Went out 15 times this season. The last two seasons have been off years to be sure! I shot my 170,000th crow this season (my lifetime total) and finished with 170,809 crows. I can tell that I am not as agile as I was 10 years ago. Father time catches up with all of us if we...

Tip: When every piece of exposed corn stalk in a field looks like this, you should hunt there. Hehehe. Not ducks. Not geese. Not deer. Those are all crow tracks my friends. -- Edited by Big Honkers on Saturday 12th of February 2022 09:44:25 PM -- Edited by Big Honkers on Saturday 12th of February 20...

Does anyone use a motion decoy like the Mojo Motion decoy or others? I would love to get the F5 decoy, but they are usually out of stock and the possibility of killing a donor crow are low each hunt.

Hey All, My 12 yr. old got her first crow on Saturday. We did an afternoon hunt. It was hot! The action was pretty slow and we only ended-up with 5. After several misses she was so shocked when she dropped one. " I got it! I got it! Daddy, I got it!" It was pretty cute. However, she flat refused to go pi...

Dale and myself haven't posted much lately since our hunts were lackluster to say the least. So we decided to dig deeper in an area we hunt and knock on some new doors. We did that on our last outing & learned of other crow hunters in the area and we left with unfinished business because we needed to fol...

After coming back from a road trip where the birds had a lot of hunting pressure I hit a local spot near a pecan grove, I usually hit this place in October but I left it alone this year till today. Got set up facing north with a brisk south wind, I was at the edge of a hay field about 500 yards from the grove. I was...

Granite Jaw · Granite Jaw

Hey guys, We had a difficult fall and it led to a slow start on the crows. We managed to get out once at the end of Oct. and battled wary crows. The wind was right but they wouldn't decoy and the shooting was tough. We called it quits with 30, but it was good to be after 'em again. A couple weeks later we got out...

Do you use the small metal stake provided with the ff5 or do you raise it up some, they seem to react to it fairly well as it is. Just wondering. The old charger from my old Johnny Stewart seems to do a good job of charging my 12v 7ah battery.
