They were a little spooky this morning
(Preview)
Only picked up 38. But that does bring the total to 295 out of this pecan orchard. Left a few more it the treeline. Most shots were 30 - 45 yards which is far for us. This is Savannah with her crow. She cleaned up at a few cripples. Two were picked up after the pic was taken for anyone that is counting. [IMG]ht...

Mouth blown CALLS
(Preview)
I have a question for you guys on here about mouth blown calls. I have 3 or 4 of these calls but I can't call a crow in with them. (They are all pretty cheap, the best one I have is a Mallard Tone) I know what a call should sound like, I can call them in with just my voice. There have even been times when my Fox Pro do...

I have been trying to figure out how to judge distance on crows. I am a painter and the last few days I have been working on an exterior of a home in a very nice open neighborhood. There are lots of crows in the area that like to frolic and play around the yards and ponds. Each time I think there is one within kil...

Ended up with 25
(Preview)
Went out this AM to a new farm that wasn't too promising, and sure enough, we left after less than an hour and 3 birds. Went over to a sunflower field that we had shot almost 3 weeks ago. The wind was howling, so the calling was not as effective. Numbers were lower than before, but we ended up with 25. Here...

Fish Crows & Common Crows

Here is a photo of a few fish crows and common crows together as they are taking flight. In the next photo you can see the fish crow at the top and the two common crows on the bottom of the photo. In the next photo you can see that the fish crow's bone structure is more frail than a common crow's.

Please pray for my friend John Murdaugh. He had a heart attack Friday, and they revived him, but he was dead for 15 minutes. He was responsive today, but he is not out of the woods yet. He has 4 stints and a balloon. They are taking the balloon out tonight. He looks like hell. Please pray for him. Thanks.

How to judge distance on the wing?

Anyone have any good tips on judging distance on a crow in the air? I took some pairs of dead crows and spaced them at 10 yards intervals out to 50 yards. I spread the wings on one and the other I left wings folded and staked them up with the breast facing me. I them shouldered my gun and used the rib and bead to m...

I felt compelled to help him with this problem, so I woke up at 4:15, and drove the 87 miles to his wheat field. We set up his Snow Crow Pro, and my Fury, and put out about 20 decoys. JJ wasn't lying. W...

How do you get all your gear out to the blind?
(Preview)
By the time we carry decoys, e-caller, guns, a case of ammo, lights and pole to hang decoys, we are tired and out of breath. Anyone have a cart of some sort that works for you?
