Anyone have a favorite brand of aftermarket tubes? I shoot a M-1 Benelli if that helps. I am looking for a good full choke at least but would not be opposed to buying a set if a good one is offered. Do you like the extention type that are ported?

My family and I spent the weekend at our old home place this weekend. My uncle went down and cut the grass Friday and it was to windy to do any control burning so all that was left to do was shoot stuff! I spent all of Saturday shooting clays and patterning. My kids got to shoot all they wanted also. The kids ar...

In physics, an inverse-square law is any physical law stating that some physical quantity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity.

So New Jersey's eason is done and doesn't reopen until August. I have a notion to go to the WMA's a few times and set up some decoys and practice calling them in. Any downside to this, such as accidentally educating my eventual pray that I set up dummies that waste their precious crow time?

It's been awhile since I visited or posted. Been busy on a sheep farm that wants the coyote population reduced. Wiley things won't give me a clean shot. Seen a pure black one twice. It was huge.

In 1971 my friend Dick was in Libya. At customs the customs agent was looking through Dicks stuff and found a kleenex box with all the flags on it from around the world. He took out his knife and cut out the Isralie flag and said to Dick & his friend "you follow me" next thing Dick knows the bo...

In the very early 1950's my father used to hunt a lot of crows in New Jersey. He was friends with the local game warden and sometimes they even hunted together. Well one day he was having an early dinner at this Japanese steak house and he was with his friend the game warden. The warden and my father didn't h...

I saw on here the other day and also in our local paper that the Rem. Gun Club loads are on sale for $5.59ish at BPS. What is the normal price of these shells? Here you can buy Rem Nitro sporting loads for $6.27 at Wally world. Several folks seemed excited about the price so are they normaly more expensive th...

I just got a Mincey call from Crowmart and am having problems with it locking up on me. I would like to talk to Jack to see if I am doing anything wrong with it.

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.

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.
