I just got done adding up the numbers for this season. We averaged 172 crows per hunt between my partner and I. In 45 seasons the combined total of crows shot in my company comes to 254,109 crows. Weather conditions killed a lot of our hunting this past season and as a result we only hunted half of what w...

Gentlemen has anyone tried HECS camo? It’s been out since 2010. YouTube it, check out their website. It’s a game changer from what little information is on the web . My question is are the videos cropped? Does this new technology work? I’ve always wondered how animals can sense me when hunting, how ca...

Good morning, Do to work I’ve recently relocated to the mountains of Northern Pennsylvania. Just went scouting to learn the crows habits here. The crows are far and few in between. Lots of farms, no chicken farms. A few dairy farms. The crows are scattered here and appeared to be singles and cal...

I ran across this today and figured that someone might find a good use for it. I thought it was pretty cool. So if you need to stock up on ammo for the up coming season, go here. Now I entered 12 gauge, 2 3/4" shells and 7.5 shot size. This is what i got out of it. https://ammoseek.com/ammo/12-gauge?ss=7....

Run and gun a few times a week, usually evenings as time permit. Nice to soon six or eight crows every few days because it’s what I like to do.

Yesterday I saw a video of a mall parking lot in Augusta Maine taken after dark on March 5th and there were 100's and 100's of crows on the ground, in the trees and sitting on the large snow banks. It was a news item for WMTW Channel 8 in Maine. Now I found this video posted yesterday by Maine Public Televisi...

The reason I am not in this photo when President Regan was in the White House in the mid 1980's is because this dinner was held in October!

Hello Fellow Crowbusters, I went on a hunt recently and Im not going to lie, I got a little scared. Several times. I was hunting by myself and having a good time.

What's the best or average 12 ga. load for crow shooting, and what is the preferred choke to use? What shot size? thanks

Made the big jump couple weeks ago and purchased a new from line e-caller, namely the Foxpro Shockwave. Did a bit of research this winter and came to the conclusion that the Shockwave would best suit my coyote hunting needs and double as a great front line crow caller. Put the Shockwave through its firs...

Spring is close and the birds know it. There has been lots of honkers and crows on the move the last couple days.

So if you want to find out just how many birds are in your local city area. Put your Foxpro in the back of your truck, turn on the crow fight and just drive around. I must say, it is really awesome. In the event if you pull this to the right point, you can get them pulled to a good shooting location. I did it just f...
