The day started in a cornfield with my partner and I shooting our old Parker 10 bores at geese. We limited early and grabbed our Parker 20 ga's and went jump shooting on a small river. Then went to some other cornfields and finished the day shooting crows. I went back the mighty ten and my partner staye...

A few weeks ago on a rather slow day I had one shot at a crow with my mighty ten bore and killed it. While walking out in the cornfield to get the bird I found the wad from my shot. I brought it home, reloaded it into the same hull it had been fired from and marked the bottom with X. Today we had a little better l...

This weekend, I was asked to entertain a 17 year old who recently started hunting. He's seen photos of my hunts, and was eager to get some trigger time. I had hoped to get him on some dove, but we couldn't find any, so we switched to varmints. I told him he could shoot anything that was legal. Our ta...

Finally starting to see some birds in the area of southern NH. Shot 8 yesterday morning and 8 again this morning. While driving home I saw a big flock of least 200 birds and this is the biggest ball of them I have seen this fall. Things are starting to look up

Anyone have suggestions which wire is the best for hanging the decoys with a pole. For the flambeau I use a coat hangers but for the greenhead after a while the hole on the decoys cracks and is no longer any good. The coat hanger does hold up its strength over time. Thanks, Pete

Hey All Have any of you tried daytime racoon calling? You find the den trees and put your caller out and get ready!! You can do it in the middle of the day before you head to your afternoon crow shoot.You can use your shotgun and some #4 's or such,you will need a few racoon calls on your ecaller.And you will b...

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.

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.

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.

As some of you know I have been commenting on my exploits of shooting crows with an old Parker 10ga double.
