Hey guys, We did quite a bit of hunting in Feb. What follows are those hunts in which something notable happened, the good, the bad and the ugly. On 5 Feb. we set up to call them off a feeding area. Conditions couldn't have been more perfect for this spot. Temperature at dawn was low teens and rose to the m...

On 2 March we did an AM set north of some crows that had been working up a crick bottom for several days. The plan was to move for a PM shoot after things dried up. Temperature was in the upper 20's with partly cloudy skies and a 10 mph NW breeze. The crows cooperated and we had good shooting for most of the f...

These were taken in 2002 in Maryland of my late hunting partner Jerry Byroad. The last photo is way out of focus but you get the general idea. The last photo was taken in North Dakota where Jerry rented a house with four other hunters during there pheasant season.

Don't ask me how i remember your birthday when i occasionally forget my wife's birthday. Must be because you'res is so close to our season's end. At any rate, Happy birthday & hope you have many more. There are still a lot of crow's out there. Paul.

I am tying traditional Southern Appalachian trout fly patterns for a Trout Unlimited chapter. There is a very old pattern from North Carolina or Tennessee (not uncommon to have multiple sources of origin) and the main ingredient are crow primary or tail feathers. These are not available commerc...

Apologies in advance on the less than adequate camera skills in this one. I had hell with the cameras the whole hunt and missed a lot of the action. I promise to make it up on the next video which is coming shortly.

I recently heard of the ff5/ff6 decoys. I've been thinking about getting one. What's the difference between the two? Is one better than the other? Are they worth the money? Also what about their auto bouncer decoy? Would it be any better? Any thoughts on any of their other decoys?

Seems like there are more of these happening than I have heard of before this.

This hunt didn't go as planned, we attempted to cut off a flyway and we got outsmarted. I made a more portable blind for this very spot because we had to hump our crap a long ways. We got 25 on the ground before we threw in towel. https://youtu.be/rEqs2_41Vzc

Dale has been posting those great videos of his recent hunts that make me drool due to the long time since my last hunt. With our season ending soon, I finally dusted off some cobwebs and renewed some contacts relative to the strings of fish crows I've been mapping near our island. Contacting 4 or 5 land...

Dale and I made a trip & spent a couple day's wacking crow's. He's working on the video he took of us & when he post's that it'll tell the shooting story. What it won't show is him getting his ass chewed out by the farmers wife !!! That was one for the record book ! There is something about a woman be...

Hope all is well with everyone. We'd noticed an increasing number of crows feeding in an area not far from home and when there got to be enough for at least some morning shooting, we had at 'em. Temperature ranged from upper teens rising to near 30. Wind was WNW @ 10-15. Stronger and more west than foreca...

Thursday 17 Jan. dawned clear at -8 and rose to the mid-single digits. Wind was NNW @ 10-12 mph. We'd hunted this spot about six weeks ago. Wind direction and strength hadn't been as expected and neither was the kill total. On this day we'd have liked a more westerly direction, but it wasn't a deal break...

Just finished reading Crow Hunting Secretes by Dick Mermon and Crow Shooting by Popowski. Great books with a lot of info for any crow hunter. They really seem to know everything there is to know about crows.

Hello gents, it's been a long long time since I've been on. I have been spending the last few years fishing a LOT, only to come back and TWRA changed our season and it closes on January 1st!

Last time we where out I noticed a little bad habit of mine creeping back into my shooting. My tendency is a poor mount and ends with me shooting high. So I broke out the ShotKam and sure enough I was back to my old habits. I tinkered with some editing software and figured who doesn’t like to see a few cro...

Just curious if anyone is noticing a decline in the number of birds? I have hunted 3 times this season at locations that Jerry Tomlin would take my group. We would routinely shoot well over 50 birds and usually see many many more. This season I have not seen nearly the number of birds we have seen in the...

I decided to make a quick trip to an area I had scouted in the past. So Friday we loaded up and headed out. We spent most of the the day scouting and watching it rain. I had my eye on a spot that I figured would produce a good hunt but I hadn’t been able to gain permission in past trips to the area. This time I g...

I know this will create "controversy" but I don't care-I speak from experience regarding this area. Every 5 to ten years crows change their pattern. On the border I saw a gradual decline of crows until it's not worth going anymore. There were not less crows moving through but they changed their patte...

Hey all, Our first shoot of the new year was Tue. 7 Jan. in uncommonly mild weather for this time of year. 30 degrees and calm at dawn, warming to just above 40. West wind picked up to about 10 mph. Although some breeze early would've helped, it was a wonderful day to be hunting. Early on it was apparent we...
