Just got off the phone with a crow call maker from North Carolina who sees Daryl Gibson several times a week He spells his name differently it's Daryal Gosey and I mentioned to him that he makes a nice sounding crow call. I just got it...

Shoot or don't shoot the scouts that leave the roost to check out your calls. One fellow with over 20,000 kills says Don't let the scouts get away kill them. If they don't come back the murder thinks they found something good to eat so they didn't return. The other fellow says don't shoot them let them ret...

Gentlemen: You might have heard by now that Walmart's CEO announced today, their new policy to cease selling 5.56/.223 ammunition and eventually "handgun" ammo. The reason: to make Walmart and by extension, the United States a safer place. Male Bovine Scat! Thus, I announced my new policy ear...

Never fails. Always some cheese wizard goes and throws away a good thing-they go and shoot up their local roost. I got lucky learning of a crow roost a few years ago and get under one of the flight paths enroute to this roost. It was good for about two hours with stragglers still coming in after dark. Well...

Greetings! I recently picked up a vintage P.S. OLT Crow Call - No. 348205 for a dear friend of mine who has been wanting to get into crow calling (and she also enjoys vintage things!). It's in good shape but it's dusty inside and I also know she will want to be assured that the call has been thoroughly clea...

Recently I was fortunate enough to be invited to a pigeon & dove hunt in Bolivia. The farmers in many of the South American countries including Bolivia count on at lease 25% crop loss due to birds (mainly doves, pigeons, parrots & parakeets). To help with the problem, they work with many out...

Crow season opens Sunday at noon. I am going to clean the Ithaca tonight and swap out the choke for a new extended full I got from Briley. I am going to step it up a little this year with more choke and use #6 heavy field loads hopefully it will help me make more kills. -- Edited by oldshotty on Tuesday 17th of...

I just got done adding up the numbers for this season. We averaged 172 crows per hunt between my partner and I. In 45 seasons the combined total of crows shot in my company comes to 254,109 crows.
