killed my age plus one to grow on.
(Preview)
Forty two total. Pictured are the ones that landed in the field. The rest were in the briers or the drink. Shot 86 shells. I am starting to like the 1200 fps loads of 1 1/8 oz. I would have killed for a more open choke as the birds were very low and in my face. One particular direction they came from the first sh...

I have been researching about air gun hunting and stumbled across this video. English fellow uses it for magpies, but it should work for crows with some minor changes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nupDmSf6R8g ***Excuse me if this is old to you. Paul

I need some advice on my set-up
(Preview)
I recently found a fly way about 5 weeks ago. The only land I can hunt is state land and its about a mile and a half from the roost. I am very confident that no one else is hunting them in this area, maybe even the entire state for that matter. I have hunted crows for well over 10 years and found to have most of my s...

CROWS in the SNOW

Charles and I have hit the jackpot as far as crows go. At least for Maine. While driving around last week, we stumbled upon a flyway where the crows are basically following a river. As luck would have it, we have permission to hunt some property along this flyway. Right now, we have about 30 inches of sno...

Favorite camo pattern

I know some folks hunt different types of terrain and cover. What camo works where you live? I hunt the lake bottoms of east Tn and when the lake goes down to winter pool nothing matches the rock and boulders of our lakes like natgear. It works great in the woods and open fields too. There snow camo looks...

Run-and-Gun on a River?
(Preview)
I live close to the Arkansas River and I've noticed lots of crows around my various duck/goose hunting spots. Has anyone ever used their boat to crow hunt sandbars on a river before? My plan is to load in, run the river to a spot, shoot some crows, run down another mile or so, shoot some more, etc.

Crow vs Raven

Do you differentiate between the two different birds?? I only go for crow's myself as the Raven is a special bird mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 8:7 as the bird that Noah sent to find land. What is your feedback fellow "Crow Busters"????

Landfill crows
(Preview)
I normally hunt a flyway within 2 miles of a landfill on weekdays. Results generally run between a dozen and 50 crows per trip. Went to the area this past Sunday and the crows were totally absent. I presume that the crows didn't use the landfill because the garbage was not present on the weekend days....
