My wife came toting this cake in this evening. My mom is a rockstar cake maker and this is the cake she made for my birthday this year. Thought other crow hunters might get a kick out of it.

Paul and I broke the seal this past Tuesday. It was nice to be back after the bandits.

Not your typical crow hunting outings, but I have been bitten really hard by the long-range shotgun crow hunting/shooting. It definitely cuts back on the overall limit of birds killed, but when you intentionally and purposefully set up to kill crows out to 80 yards with a shotgun, at least for me, I ge...

In 1979 it was my 5th year living in Kansas. I was in my very early 30's at that time. On November 3rd 1979 Boyd and I shot 476 crows (Boyd - 266 Bob - 210) this was an afternoon flyway shoot from from 3:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M. Just 20 gauge guns in those days. The next day I went out alone on November 4th and setup...

As some of you may know, for many years we had an annual event in the Aiken, SC-Augusta, GA area that centered around hunting with the famed crow guide, Jerry Tomlin, God rest his soul. Each Fall, we hunted with him for two weeks...once in October, then again in November. Since his death a couple years...

Helloooo Crowbusters, It has been far too long since I posted a hunt report. So, here ya go. The Michigan season ends 9-31 so this will be our last crow hunt of 2020. I had been seeing a decent amount of birds (for my corner of MI anyway) in this area, however, they were all spread out over a couple miles of...

Wednesday morning I had time and weather cooperates to get a shoot in on a small group of birds that were roosting near a farm I was able to get into. Stumbled upon about 50 crows in a field while scouting geese. Watched it for a few days waiting for the right wind, which turned out to be no wind. I was only abo...

Got a call from a guy who had planted two food plots just two days ago for his deer hunting and already had some crows attacking his wheat and peas that had not yet sprouted. It didn't sound too promising, but inspecting the place at first light there were a handful of crows, so I told him we would give it a t...

Been a mediocre fall this far with the crows. Half dozen here dozen there, nothing spectacular. Out of at first light this morning and found a huge group had moved into my theatre of operation, perhaps 5000 birds or more. Short of it, I cracked 49 crows this morning and a few probables. All this within...

Hey gentlemen on what average dates do y'all get after them? We start early to mid September here but this year it's looking like first of Oct. M12 is strong out of the gates so far this year so I thought I would ask. No problem if you don' want to give the information out, which could cause some a problem....

I like reminding the forum the about the reasons for not shooting up your crow roosts.....I had a not too shabby area that had so many crows that it had two roosts within calling distance of one another! But the locals figured out how to get the island roost-the original main one and the big pine tree r...

Was asked by a friend to attend an afternoon dove hunt on his property. He always has doves galore, so I was excited about the possible prospects of a full limit. A few days before the hunt date, he called and reported that crows were sneaking into the field. He suggested we hunt crows in the morning and do...

Bob · Bob

I wish I could say that this was one of my shoots but it is not! Dick my partner had a day in 1995 where he alone shot 1,222 crows by himself! It is very tough to get two outstanding hunts back to back, one in the morning and then another in the afternoon! Dick hit it right where he shot over 600 crows on a morning...

First time out was Aug 1 which is the opener here in MI. Buddy I shoot with pretty regular now used to run&gun in a yearly crow shoot here years ago. took me down where he would go before and we did maybe 8 sets by lunch time. Think "we" downed 6 or 7. I was having a bad day shooting, he shot all the crows...

Butch · Butch

Did this same post I think last year, hope it goes better for me this season! Anyway food crop looks off the chain this year. Growers are looking at possibly their best crop in a few years. That said I need the crows to show up in numbers because I've got shells that are getting old and I really need to hear s...

For the record, I HATE wearing masks! They are stuffy, starve me of oxygen and just cramp my style of enjoying face-to-face interactions. I'm risk-tolerant and also believe there are some nefarious reasons behind the whole COVID topic, but I'll leave that one alone for now. My wife has many intere...

Hi. My name is Kevv. I've got some questions regarding hand calling for crows. I want to improve my hand calling regarding crows, and I have a bunch of crow calls of wood and plastic. For those who hunt crows with hand calls, does anyone know any good calls or crow calling sequences to try out and learn on m...

During the past 52 years I have seen three prime areas for crows go away in 22 years. One area in 10 years and another in 16 years. The reasons vary from the feed changing from peanuts to cotton or milo to cotton. Other factors are the destruction of their roosts to make way for urban sprawl with housing. T...

Been reading a lot here and recently read about the 25ft hot stick for placing decoys in trees. I took the term literally and searched finding a great tool but at a cost of 200+ dollars. Is this what some are using? Or some sort of less expensive version of it? Also considering a panel type blind to use. An...

Here is a hunting website I came across recently. It's essentially a radio talk show presented as podcasts which are how to guides for all kinds of hunting. The host lives in PA and he says he is a college professor and pastor who took up hunting at age 30. He found learning how to do it on his own was diffi...
