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...

If any of you were reading the posts under the Red Hawk decoy topic you would have seen that JD and I were wondering how we could get Pennsylvania to change its law regarding electronic decoys for crows. You are allowed to use them for trapping or hunting of furbearers, but that's it. SO, I emailed the Pa...

The late Lord Rippon of Europe was in his prime in the days of the grand estate shoots. They shot driven pheasants and partridge similar to a European hunt today.

My dad has an old Remington 1100 that is pre-screw in chokes. He's got four or five barrels for it that are all normal choke names, except for "Modified Trap". Is this Improved Modified or is it something else? I guess I could just take a caliper and measure the bore width, right?

I wanted to ask about frocking decoys with real crow feathers. Does anyone know if there are any legal issues with doing this? I know that we can not use real owl feathers to frock a owl decoy.

I am just curious how often, how much and what kind of target shooting everyone does during the off season. For me it is 3000+ clay pigeons annually on a mix of sporting clays, modern skeet, skeet and trap.
