First time sharing a hunt. This one took place on October 9th. A group of us had been hunting resident geese and noticed a good group of crows cross the property. I thought about waiting a week or so after the resident goose season and then trying a crow hunt here. In fact I could think of little else. The f...

Hi everyone! Looking get into crow hunting after deer season this year with my cousins. I have a fox pro that I plan on using and we are ordering some decoys for use in the field that they frequent. For a blind, I was thinking of getting snow camo netting so it is large enough for the 3 of us. For loads we are go...

Paul requested that I had some “places to hold stuff” to the blind and like a good partner I obliged his request. Picture below

New member here, and hello to all you crow hunters. I picked up this crow hunting sport late in life, and am starting my 5th season of active pursuit. Took me this long to get off my butt and register for this site instead of just lurking. I’ve shot a few crows since I was old enough to shoot by myself. A yo...

So, got a call from a land owner who has a nice stand of pecans and also does a little farming. He plants about a 1,000 acres and his place I have named the Oasis. It sits down in the hills and is a major attraction due to the food source there. I did not get to hunt it last year due to deer hunters not wanting...

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...

With things being extremely busy at work, scouting and hunting crows have been on the back burner…until this week! On Wednesday I scouted out six orchards or dove fields and found a couple with crows. Saturday was the day, so calling around I caught a friend and his daughter practicing sporting clay...

Last year, my first year, I would do my blind and everything in the afternoon come out before sun and put the decoys out in the morning… shoot till 2:p and move in the afternoon for the next morning shoot… Has anyone ever shot the same location in the afternoon and then again in the morning with success… Is...

The first photo was taken in October of 1974. The second photo was taken in February 1975. All in Reno County, then Boyd took me over into Stafford County where there was another huge roost in those days.

I shoot a old M1 that has several barrels. When I bought the gun many years ago I got it for turkey hunting so I chose the 24" barrel. A few of years ago I bought a 28" barrel for it specifically to shoot crows and pigeons. I have patterned the gun with both barrels and and the patterns are about the same with a...

Dale and I got into a pretty good bunch at a pecan orchard. It was tough shooting but we ended up with 192 KIA. Most of them are in the sled / boat ( see pics )although we had quite a few flame out up to 300 yards away & didn't get retrieved.

Finding shotgun ammunition this year is pretty bad. How are all of you fixed for this season in regard to shotgun ammo ?

Back in the day I used the old standard owl but now use a redtail hawk to rile them up. My thinking was in all my years of hunting and fishing I've only seen crows mob an owl once but I have seen them mob red tail hawks multiple times. I use the same hawk predator hunting also. -- Edited by Nastygunz on Monday 1...

Some of you on here may remember me from times past, it has been quite a while since I have been on the website. For the past few years I have been pretty obsessed with predator hunting and kind of faded away from crow hunting. I was out in the garage doing some cleaning and I was looking at my crow decoys a...

This is Kyle from St. Louis who toured the museum today. His kids loved feeding the chickens in the backyard with their mom. We had a wonderful time talking about the history of that grand sport we call crow hunting.

To get into your spot before the morning crows are flying? Would you consider it a waste of time to hunt if you couldn't get to your spot before sun up? This would be just shooting local crows, wooded farm country.

If you will look closely you can see some of these birds carrying their PHD's around with them.
