165,825 crows in 45 seasons.
(Preview)
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. Weather conditions killed a lot of our hunting this past season and as a result we only hunted half of what w...

Gentlemen has anyone tried HECS camo? It’s been out since 2010. YouTube it, check out their website. It’s a game changer from what little information is on the web . My question is are the videos cropped? Does this new technology work? I’ve always wondered how animals can sense me when hunting, how ca...

This may or may not help with cutting costs on shells
(Preview)
I ran across this today and figured that someone might find a good use for it. I thought it was pretty cool. So if you need to stock up on ammo for the up coming season, go here. Now I entered 12 gauge, 2 3/4" shells and 7.5 shot size. This is what i got out of it. https://ammoseek.com/ammo/12-gauge?ss=7....

So if you want to find out just how many birds are in your local city area. Put your Foxpro in the back of your truck, turn on the crow fight and just drive around. I must say, it is really awesome. In the event if you pull this to the right point, you can get them pulled to a good shooting location. I did it just f...

Decoys

I’ve studied crows feeding in the 200 acre pumpkin patch and arrange my decoys in the same manner. I believe I’m doing it correctly because Mr. crow and his accomplices land with the decoys.

Another Battle With Fish Crows
(Preview)
About a month ago we hunted in a flooded rice field nearby and had a decent hunt. The owners wanted to hunt again as the fish crows were still active. Since the last hunt, the fields have been drained and that brought in more crows. When I arrived at 4:30 PM to set up the blind, there was a group of about 2...

Today was an educated hunt. Being new to the sport, and solo hunting there are many mistakes made. I’m perusing this sport like I do with everything. When I started I purchased a FoxPro. I was not impressed, so I pulled out my Johnny Stewart Pray Master. I cranked it up and had Crows flocking by the 100s. T...
