Crow season opens Sunday at noon. I am going to clean the Ithaca tonight and swap out the choke for a new extended full I got from Briley. I am going to step it up a little this year with more choke and use #6 heavy field loads hopefully it will help me make more kills. -- Edited by oldshotty on Tuesday 17th of...

Good morning, the Amish community has no issues with crow hunting. Thank you for the advice gentlemen.It will be no problem finding new Crows. My 870 is jamming again no matter what manufacture,loads. I don’t want to shoot $30 box’s. So I’m shooting low end shells. The problem is a manufacturing defe...

This might even help you with your hunting strategies! And, if you act before July 1, you will get a discount. I've signed up for the course, but have to wait until July until it is available. Who knows...it may increase my TBC! Demi

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...

Shot some crows this morning with my new Foxpro Shockwave. Very pleased with its operation although the weather was absolutely terrible. Heavy north west wind picked up shortly after sunrise and a blistering snow squall move in to end the northward movement of migrants. Again, about an hour so of c...

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...

Gentlemen, a little help, please...A couple of weeks ago, I received a surprise gift of a Winchester Model 1400 Mk II, semi-auto from a Navy Vet friend of mine as we prepared for our Memorial Day remembrances here in our small town.

Recently I was fortunate enough to be invited to a pigeon & dove hunt in Bolivia. The farmers in many of the South American countries including Bolivia count on at lease 25% crop loss due to birds (mainly doves, pigeons, parrots & parakeets). To help with the problem, they work with many out...

I made it a point not to shoot my local crows on my property this year. instead i use them for a case study. I have 3 to 5 that show up daily. the last few days they have been trying to get at the scissor tail nest's and rob the egg's or newly hatched birds. when i see the scissor tail's swooping at the crow's i jus...

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.

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...

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....

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.

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.

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...
