Raptors as decoys.
(Preview)
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...

Hi De Ho, Neighbors!

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.

How important is it..
(Preview)
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.

Rob is holding a 33 1/3 record that Bert Popowski gave me in 1976. It is perhaps the last one in existence of him demonstrating how to blow the fighting call and the distress call for his customers. He sold them in the 1940's and 50's for five bucks. Rob is also holding one of the crow calls that Bert sold dur...

72 and a piebald
(Preview)
On the afternoon of 26 Feb. we hunted some inbound crows. They came in well and provided soft shooting until late, when the 10-15 mph wind dissipated. They then stayed high and the shooting slowed up and was tougher. We had 72 down, the sun had set and we began to pack up when we found a piebald near the bli...

Hey all, Our season ended yesterday here in MS. I got out a few times this year but only had one good (for me) shoot. My season got off to a rough start as my blind met an untimely demise by a 12 foot brush mower. I had set it the morning before I was going to hunt and that afternoon the farmer had one of his wor...

I’m getting behind on hunt reports, but we’ve been slowed by some cold weather lately so I thought I’d share a couple. We put one off a couple days so we could hunt on the warmest day of the week, last Wed. 10 Feb. The temperature did get above zero, but the crows were wary and we got 20. At least we didn’t set...

The Great Ammo and Component Shortage of 2021

It's hitting home for a few folks as one poster on a crow hunting Facebook page posted yesterday, "How I am supposed to shoot crows when I can't find ammunition"? I think this shortage is much worse than previous shortages as this affects everything not just powder, 22 and assault rifle ammo. Some day...

What is going on is that Demi is inside, plotting how and when to silence you so he can keep sleeping!! After a few days of listening to the racket ou...

The next day I went out alone on November 4th and setup...

Long Range Crows!

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...
