Hey All I have been thinking of getting one of the hand held units for yote hunting in the woods and for marking coon den trees. What brands or tips or info do you guys have.

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.

How big is your spread ? How many deks do you put out ? How many do you hand in the trees ? How many different decoys do you use ? Do you have a pattern that you use or do you just throw them out ?

Since it's 105 friggin degrees outside I thought it would be a good idea to review some of my old journals from past years. I see one shoot where in 2004 I shot 500 crows even that day.
