Well, I just received the metro gun barrel for my 870 pump rem wingmaster 12 gauge. Shot about 40 crows last friday. The crow area I shot does not get hunted frequently. Maybe once a year. I shot winchester featherlight AA light recoil 8's. I used skeet choke and it performed better than I thoug...

Both these wooden cases held 500 rounds each. The darker case was Government issue to the farmers and ranchers out here in Kansas. Thats right, they got free ammo to shoot crows back in the 1930's and 1940's. Bob A.

Chased a bunch of crows around this afternoon again. Dusted six with my first seven shots, some real sweet doubles. Then I started to miss a bit, some that I really should have had. Blame it on the sun that came out The old 16 really got a workout...and so did I Ted

Ok boys its on down south!!! Yesterday I scouted 2 roost that were very productive last year. The first one was a little early 3 hours before sunset. The birds began staging around 4:30 pm. I watched them feed and then move around the roost area. I then went to my larger roost and watched til almost dark ...

You ready for goose season? I've only gone after the crows 3 days but the shooting has been real poor. A handful of birds here and there; haven't even gone thru a box of shells yet. And I could do without the hot weather and mosquitos. But the dumb birds that want to land in the decoys are a nice change fr...

I have been running an idea across the coconut to figure out how to add motion to my decoy spread. The first thing is it must be is cost effective. The second thing is that it has to be simple.

Anybody know anything about or use these? I like Federal 1 1/8oz loads for my sweet sixteen. I just don't like the price, and am looking for something cheaper but don't want crap ammo either. I know I may not need the 1 1/8oz loads, but for the 16ga that's my choice to get the 1295-1300fps that I want. The 1...

Hey fellas, Have any of you guys used any Win. AA Super Handicap or Rem. STS Light Handicap loads for crows? I have the opportunity to pick-up a couple of flats of each, in 12 ga, #7 1/2, for under $5.00 a box. I usually shoot the wal-mart federal 4-packs in #7 1/2, which pattern great out...

Started out yesterday with a quick set up of 1 in a tree and 3 on the ground. I heard some out in distance and let the caller rip. Played some different sounds until they reacted to the fighting call. The deeks were on my left, my back to the trees in a quick blind. A dozen birds circled up over the trees behin...

As some of you know I have been commenting on my exploits of shooting crows with an old Parker 10ga double. The gun has been a blast and larger bore through a number of factors; shorter shot string, fewer deformed pellets, lower chamber pressure etc. allows me to kill crows at longer range with more con...

Hello Bob, When do crows start their major migrations from Canada. Do they stay there until their food sources are iced over before they leave? Regards, Jim

Took a short drive this afternoon to try and bag a few crows before they depart and the end comes...which is only a few weeks from now. Go into a big gang of about a thousand crows. Windy, cloudy and cool. Managed to dust 7 crows before the group got on to me. Also shot a magpie and got a nice ruffed grouse...

Got out early today and went to some public ground, where I allways see crows. I've never hunted there, it's mostly set up for duck hunting, being low ground in the flood plain of the White River. I had one come by, which I promptly missed. After that I could see and hear birds in the distance, but none int...
