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.

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...

Amazing FOUR hunts in nearly the same place!!

In years past when we were mostly "run and gunning" we rarely hunted the same spot more than once a year.. sometimes twice seperated by quite a few weeks.
