I have been looking for a good knife for about a year and think I have finaly found one. I carried a case sodbuster for years but I dont like a stainless knife and the chrome vanadium blades chip like a razor blade. I like the size and shape of a sodbuster its just right for work where im an electritian and...

I went out to our local WMA today and shot my first round of sporting clays. It is a really nice facility. They had golf cart to use or you could use their bag carts. There were 12 stations with some easy and some not so much. There was one crossing shot that was a ways out there. I don't think I ever touched one...

"You will need shotgun shells in #6 or #5 shot. Please no 7 1/2 or 8 shot as these are too light for shots past 40 yards.http://www.thecrowroost.com/Crow_Shoots.htm#TXTOBJ7D01131286F01

Been thinking about getting a 3" shotgun, and looking at extended tubes for the capacity, but was wondering if anyone was using them for hunting?

nhcrowshooter · nhcrowshooter

Well we were curious too. Remember the old adage more is always better? Seems to not always work that way with shotguns. Which shot size runs out of pattern density as range extends 6's or 7.5's? Logic would say the load with far fewer pellets, testing proved something different. The following t...

Knocked off a Mallardtone call from ebay today to go along with my Gibson(s) and Mincey call. Now that I have arguably the three best calls, I will have no excuse for sounding so freaking "caw"ful. Season ends March 31st so I will have the summer to practice. I enjoy it though. Don't think m...

Went out this morning without a whole lot of anticipation, the area I've been hunting was absolutely void of crows yesterday afternoon when I went out to scout the area. I'm pretty sure most of the migraters have moved further to the north, but ya know ya can't kill anything if you don't go out.. I was fai...

The A-Teams last hunt: Feb 26, 2011. Our new season returns June 1 and in the meantime, those shooters shown below will be on CrowZac till then! This picture is remarkable, at least to us, as it represents the largest number of crows taken at one stand ever: 153! This was our second stand of the day. We we...

Does anyone else get tired of reading about 6 shot vs. 7 1/2 shot? Is anyone out hunting or just sitting at the computer trying to get their point across? I say compromise and shoot 6.75 shot! Hammer

I was driving along this past Saturday about 1/2 mile from my house. As I passed a group of trees close to the road I could hear many crows screaming, even through the closed windows of my truck. So I turned around and drove back and here are these 2 crows on the ground that were causing all the "crowd...

Started out really foggy this morning , was still able to put together a decent hunt. Dropped 14 of them into the decoys, packed up and got outta there though before the ground started to thaw to much.. Suppose get into the 50's today..

As many veterans are aware crows are not as active on rainy days. Many animals have a sense of changing weather and react to it. What is your experience, are they moving more before a rainy day or more the day after the rain, or both.

A great but unexpected shoot today. We hunted in nearby Maine starting in the early morning with a pair of 10ga's. The spring migration was on and we witnessed many very high north bound birds strung out and showing no interest. As the morning wore on we got all the shooting we could handle and we wer...

Has anyone ever shot the same piece of paper multiple times then divided the circle into the number of times shot and counted the strikes? Example Shoot a paper 4 times. Fold it in half then fold it in half again. When it is opened it would have 4 quarters. Count all strikes in one section and you would...

I've been lurking around this site for some time now and thought I should finally join. Things are a bit slow now, as far as a lot of crows (at least for me anyways) as winter is winding down, but should start to heat up soon. I do have the luxury of a year round open season though, so I have that going for me. My...

Got out a little later then I would of liked , but with it being 20 degrees out I wasn't to upset. Had a few good shots yet and ended up with 14 hitting the frozen ground.

I'm trying to obtain some of the old style carrylite crow decoys with feet. I don't think they have made them for several years now. I think they were actually made by Sportplast from Italy. These are the ones with the flat foot bases that measure about 5" wide by 2.5" front to back. They w...
