I started out at daylight hunting a flyway into the pecan orchard. Pictured it 37, I picked up three more on the way out. I left another 17 in the treeline. Ran out of shells.I only took 3 boxes and a piece to the field with me. Packed up and started the R n' G trip. First set, walked too far form the truck. No de...

I started to hijack the layout blind thread, but decided that would be just rude. What blind builds have y'all used in open fields and how did they work. I would love to see some pics. I have several fields that have quite a few resident birds in them but there is no cover to hunt them from. All surrounding t...

Went out this morning and had another try with the local fish crow population. I must have seen 500 fish crows in several groups flying by. True to form, they decoy in (high), circled around (especially when I mimicked their normal "flight call" (for lack of a better term), but wouldn't c...

I would like to hunt some of the Hundreds of Thousands of acres of national forest and WMAs around here for crow. Most is either swamp land or mature timber (TALL pines and oaks).

Charles and I have been traveling to Texas and Florida the last 5-6 years to bowhunt wild hogs. We do these hunts in July or August because we are both school teachers. This year we would like to hunt crows instead, make a nice trip out of it. Can any of you give us an idea as to where we could hunt? Thanks, Kev...

Took my new homebuilt out this morning and it will bring all the bird in I care to miss! Right after shooting light, I had around 100 crows over me.

I was fussing about shooting so poorly this morning in another post and someone remarked the 19 would have been a good day for them where they hunt. That opened up a train of thought for me....

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.

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.
