Hey gentlemen on what average dates do y'all get after them? We start early to mid September here but this year it's looking like first of Oct. M12 is strong out of the gates so far this year so I thought I would ask. No problem if you don' want to give the information out, which could cause some a problem....

I like reminding the forum the about the reasons for not shooting up your crow roosts.....I had a not too shabby area that had so many crows that it had two roosts within calling distance of one another! But the locals figured out how to get the island roost-the original main one and the big pine tree r...

Was asked by a friend to attend an afternoon dove hunt on his property. He always has doves galore, so I was excited about the possible prospects of a full limit. A few days before the hunt date, he called and reported that crows were sneaking into the field. He suggested we hunt crows in the morning and do...

I wish I could say that this was one of my shoots but it is not! Dick my partner had a day in 1995 where he alone shot 1,222 crows by himself! It is very tough to get two outstanding hunts back to back, one in the morning and then another in the afternoon! Dick hit it right where he shot over 600 crows on a morning...

First time out was Aug 1 which is the opener here in MI. Buddy I shoot with pretty regular now used to run&gun in a yearly crow shoot here years ago. took me down where he would go before and we did maybe 8 sets by lunch time. Think "we" downed 6 or 7. I was having a bad day shooting, he shot all the crows...

Did this same post I think last year, hope it goes better for me this season! Anyway food crop looks off the chain this year. Growers are looking at possibly their best crop in a few years. That said I need the crows to show up in numbers because I've got shells that are getting old and I really need to hear s...

For the record, I HATE wearing masks! They are stuffy, starve me of oxygen and just cramp my style of enjoying face-to-face interactions. I'm risk-tolerant and also believe there are some nefarious reasons behind the whole COVID topic, but I'll leave that one alone for now. My wife has many intere...

Hi. My name is Kevv. I've got some questions regarding hand calling for crows. I want to improve my hand calling regarding crows, and I have a bunch of crow calls of wood and plastic. For those who hunt crows with hand calls, does anyone know any good calls or crow calling sequences to try out and learn on m...

During the past 52 years I have seen three prime areas for crows go away in 22 years. One area in 10 years and another in 16 years. The reasons vary from the feed changing from peanuts to cotton or milo to cotton. Other factors are the destruction of their roosts to make way for urban sprawl with housing. T...

Been reading a lot here and recently read about the 25ft hot stick for placing decoys in trees. I took the term literally and searched finding a great tool but at a cost of 200+ dollars. Is this what some are using? Or some sort of less expensive version of it? Also considering a panel type blind to use. An...

Here is a hunting website I came across recently. It's essentially a radio talk show presented as podcasts which are how to guides for all kinds of hunting. The host lives in PA and he says he is a college professor and pastor who took up hunting at age 30. He found learning how to do it on his own was diffi...

Well I was right with this subject I am happy to say so no one should worry-where ever you might be; the same goes for you regarding x your "lack" of crow activity in old familiar haunts.
