Buying crow sounds?
(Preview)
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.

Windy Day Crows
(Preview)
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...

Dad and his crow

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...
