I find myself on this very slippery slope. We have been piling up the green beans (drake mallards) day after day 4 birds per man and shooting plenty of geese. I can only think of how fun crows are to shoot while I am waterfowl hunting. I am losing it :( The crows call! Hammer

I think we might hold the record. This morning my partner and I put down 38 crows shooting a pair of Parker "NH" or Grade 1 ten gauge shotguns. His gun built in 1892 sports 30" twist steel barrels with tight chokes and mine with 32" twist steel f/f was built in 1893. All shells were 2...

Last weekend I went archery hunting in the morning and evening and crow hunting during the day. Over a two day period, I managed to only get 1 crow. I'm shooting 2 3/4" Remington Gun Club 7 1/2 and Federal bulk shells that are also 7 1/2 shot. I had a dozen decoys set up and I'm using my Foxpro Scorpion....

After being a lazy bum the last couple years (bought a house, got married, blah blah blah) I finally got after the crows with my dad.

. . . it ends badly for the fur-bearers. We'd been out to two other properties in two counties south of the DFW area earlier this morning trying to lure crows into range of our long guns.

My Firestorm arrived yesterday. Been playing with it in the house and at work, getting used to the controls and all. Love it. Soon and very soon will be taking it out. It has a mix of predator sounds and crow sounds. Nice and light, about the size of a 6volt flashlight. A friend suggested I get a kids smal...

Went out after lunch this afternoon. Drove by a field on my way to another spot when I saw about 50 crows. I figured it would be a hit and run mission.
