Ok so crow hunting isnt really working for me so I'll give you one of my hunting set ups. I will typically put out 7 decoys on the ground in a circle type shape around an owl in the field and 4 decoys in the trees approx. 10-15 feet up on the edge. The decoys in the field are about 25-30 yards away from my bli...

Dick & I setup along "Slaughter Creek" on January 2nd, what a way to start the new year is all I can say. We shot 589 crows from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The wind was north west at 10 to 20 mph that afternoon. I used the Fox Pro CS-24L unit. Dick shot 329 and I shot 260 that day. Here are a few action p...

Hello everyone, I have lurked here for some time..and I am hoping this spring to get out on my first crow hunt. I have done tons of research, but one thing I keep coming back too, is...what do you do with all the crows you kill if you don't eat them? I can't imagine you just leave them lay where they land... D...

I don't have pics from this day. It was about 7 years ago with my uncle. Remember this..and try it if you can get the set up. My uncle and I placed a full body mount of a red fox in the plowed dirt field. We laid a dead crow we shot on the ground...under the mouth of the fox. And we laid 4 crow decoys on their si...

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

We had several days last year where we went out in the wind. It seemed like the crows had a hard time getting low enough for us to take shots, and also for them to turn around and come back to us. Anybody have any good strategies for crowbustin' in the wind? Thanks Winchester_101

How do you guys clean them? I tried to clean some and ended up having to pick a lot of feathers from the breast fillets. They have very small fine under-feathers that looks like black down.

So who has been on a crow hunting trip? Im not talking about going to hunt with somebody where an over night stay is required.
