Depending on how you set up your blinds, this may be of interest to you. A friend told me about how a Maryland outfitter deals with frozen ground at his blinds and the light bulb turned on for me.

Got to hunt. Went Saturday with the boy's and killed 43. That said we missed them by a week as the owner told me if I could have came when he called he felt we would have tripled that number and he has been spot on in the past.

This morning Paul and I made a return trip to the orchard we hunted a couple weeks ago. Bad idea but in our defense the owner was pretty persistent in getting us back to control his crow population. Seems as though he doesn't like watching his profits fly away. As you would imagine we got our butts hand...

The local Walmart has 12 ga. Federal shotgun shells for $4.94 per box. The load is 3 - 1 1/8- 7.5 shot. Might be a good time to stock-up if you need them. I remember about 45 years ago I was living in Atlanta, Ga. and the K-mart had Alcan 12. ga. shells for $ 1.56 per box! The load was 3- 1- 8 shot, and I bought ab...

The three and a half day deluge/monsoon finally ended and Colt and I set out to whack some crows. The forecast called for a Southeast wind which would just have to do, I needed some crow therapy. The morning fog was thick in the air as we set out the decoys and made ready our position. The crows where a li...

Crows shoe up a group roughly of 70 birds piling into this hayfield presumeably for worms and grubs to my surprise. Haven't seen much crow activity for weks now. Excepting a group of seven late one afternoon a week ago geting redy to roost in some very tall pines.

They say the 3rd time is a charm, and this week it was so true. Three hunts this week. Monday was a 27 crow day and Thursday was a 36 crow day. This morning was charming! Setting up in a nearby pecan orchard, I knew the crows were active, but nothing had been done to the orchard this year. Knee to waist high gra...

A friend and I were hunting crows yesterday in a pecan orchard I’ve hunted many times. Our blind was backed into a hedge on the property line and we were waiting for sunup and the crows to start calling. While sitting there in the dark, we suddenly heard a large animal snort just behind us...this was no de...

Checking in with an long time pecan orchard owner last week, he informed me that Clemson was hosting a conference for new owners at his property the next day.

Two cowboys were face to face in a life or death gunfight. One of them had a coach who whispered in one cowboys ear, "Take your time and hurry". You have probably heard this phrase yourself. I think it also applies to crow hunting, in that we can take our time preparing for the hunting season, as crow seas...

I could sure use some help killing crows in the North Central Texas area in my pecan orchard.

A friend and fellow crow hunter invited me on a dove hunt at his property. He has a beautifully planted field of corn, sorghum and sunflowers that draw in lots of birds. Only problem is that some of the birds are crop-stealing crows! He asked me to come up and hunt crows in the AM and doves in the PM. It w...

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.
