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.

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. How do you guys keep these off you meat. They are very hard to remove once they attach to breast. The way I did it was to m...

Hi all, As promised, I recorded some of the PG rated advice from Skip to the Texas Crow Patrol we gleaned during his "intervention" (I mean visit) last month: 1. Never use "Metro guns" for maximum TBC (TILT! ) 2. Hide much better – use an effective blind and setup before the crows a...

I took my dad crow hunting this summer. He turned 72 a few days before this picture was taken. I'm glad he's still willing to get out there with me. He likes to use his old 16 gauge even though we have such a hard time finding ammo for it. In the photo, we are in a dry river bed. (very dry this summer in Maine) The...

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. Im talking about a true free lance (or guided I guess) hunt where you had to be away from home for several days. Lets hear some stories/successes/failures. Good shooting, BH
