Made a couple of short hunts this weekend and managed a total of 44. I shot better that I ever have with longer shots and more quartering away kills than I have been able to make. Shorting up the lead on those long birds definitely helped. The close birds are still point and click and works just like it alwa...

OK. I am one of those that can't sleep till I figure it out. The time it takes shot to travel to the bird and the lead thing has been bothering me. When birds are close, less that 30 yards, I do well. When they are out there a ways I usually miss. I did some searching and here is what I found. I referenced a downra...

Hey, for the guys who are interested there will be a pretty big article in the Sunday paper in Kansas City. The head sports reporter drove to my house about 10 days ago to interview me about crow hunting. He toured the "Crow Museum" and took lots of photos. You can see it on line this Sunday. Go t...

Here is a link to a blind I bought about 6 months ago. Light and easy to put up. I have used it for crows and coyotes and it works well. The straps on front for putting on more natural cover are the bomb. www.zingerwinger.com I bought the 7 panel unit. The carrying stap works well. -------------kevin----...

Does anyone know where it is possible to find a Johnny Stewart CD of crow and owl fight, or anything similar. I have been looking for a while, and I am having trouble finding one. Thanks in advance.

Spent a couple of hours scouting a new place to hunt this afternoon and shot a few crows. Picked up 14 and put 4 more in the trees. This was the little fellows first excursion. He had a large time and even spotted one I didn't see slipping around the corner of the blind. I made quick work of that one. My initia...

I am just curious as to how far you feel you can call a crow with a e-caller or hand call? I am certain I called birds the other day from 1/2 - 3/4 of a mile. I judged this distance based on 40 acre sections. I believe the birds were catercorner across two 40 acre sections in an adjoining field. So basicly they w...

I pulled up to the school this morning to drop off my little one for his speech class and there were fishes everywhere. The one picture I wish I had gotten was of the 25-30 in the middle of a field that were in a 10' circle. It was the strangest thing, no crows anywhere else in that field except in that little 1...

Guys, Great stuff I am reading so far. I am in SE Virginia around lots of pines and large fields. Most of my hunting is done with a foxpro in timber short enought to shoot out of and involves 3-4 bird groups coming in and shooting 1-2 and the rest not coming back around. I have found that if I move deeper in...

On Saturday, I duck hunted with a buddy of mine, and when we finished, we turned to crows. In 45 minutes, we knocked down and recovered 16, including a partial piebald that he shot. It only had 3 white feathers, but still pretty neat. On Sunday, I duck hunted by myself, and then called up and shot tw...
