This is my first season and I am head over heals in love with crow hunting. It is "The Perfect Storm" for me when it comes to hunting. First off, it is a wing sport and ever since I was 8 years old learning to dove hunt with a Rem 1100 .410, I have been eat up with wing shooting. It is my favorite hunti...

I was wanting to test a few coyote shells/choke combinations yesterday and I decided to carry a few of my crow shells as well. I thought I would post my results here for those interested, as I have read every shell/choke thread here. These aren't 3 or 5 shot averages, just a mere comparision between on...

The first couple of photos with the snow cover were taken after I slipped on the ice and didn't even know I had a broken rib until I started to stiffen up the next day. This was last month, it's 3 degrees below zero in Hutchinson right now, forget it, I'm throwing another log on the fire! Bob A.

The crow is a creature of habit for sure. I grew up hunting crows and fighting my movements and making sure I was in full camo. Taking crows over and over weekend after weekend from 1990 - 1995. Always thinking about a strategy to get in close without being seen. Then I went off to college. When I walked o...

I'm getting ready to flock my dekes and I'm wondering how to prepare them. They have been used a lot and are dirty. I was thinking about running them through the dish washer but I figured that would deform them. What are you guys doing to prep your dekes for flocking?

Around the first of the year, I am told the cost of steel shot will go up 3% and lead 5%. And a bit of info I did not realize but was also told: lead makes up 47% of the cost of a shot shell. skip

Does anyone have a source for .wav or mp3 sound for crows. I am looking for some good quality sounds for my mp3 based caller but the only thing I have been able to find is the JS Crow Calls vol 1. I would like to purchase others if there are any available.
