The nasty boogers are crossing the Delaware / Maryland line in "Big Balls" (as nhcrowshooter says)!! Only thing is, they are using Rt. 40 as their flyway!! Took the Hoodoo Lady to the Dollar Store yesterday and witnessed close to 300 in a period of 20 minutes. Didn't have my call. Rt. 40 here, runs in a N...

After seeing several pics of coyote's on the game cam i decided to set up an early morning ambush. Got out before daylight & tucked into a hide on some high ground. About 20 minutes after daylight a bunch of crows were raising a fuss a few hundred yards away. I couldn't see them but by the sound of thin...

I noticed the crows seemed to disappear about a month ago but in the last week it seems that the birds are back, do you think these are birds that are migrating down from up north, I’m in Indiana. If so will these birds stay through out the winter.

10ga and I hunted most of the day today, sunrise to 3:30PM. We started in one spot and made the decision to move around 10:30AM and take an hours ride for a second setup. We ended the day with 96 down. We didn't bust the century mark today but we came close and had a good shoot. Below is a picture from our se...

10ga and I got out today, the weather was sunny with a light SW west wind. We did not see any crows migrating today but there was a good number of migrant birds milling about our location. We hunted from first light until 1:30 PM and put 89 birds on the ground. We used a pair of vintage auto loaders, a Remi...

After checking a pecan orchard that harvested nearly 250 crows in three hunts last year, I knew it would be slow. No irrigation, hot summer and no fertilizer equals very few nuts. But I’ll be leaving out of town for a few days and didn‘t want to wait. I put up the blind yesterday and talked a coworker into g...

Every Fall we organize a crow hunting trip with guide Jerry Tomlin in the Aiken, SC/Augusta, GA area. Our family shares a small place in Graniteville, SC which includes a small cabin that my grandfather built, which serves as our home base. Jerry arranges hunts each morning in some nearby pecan orc...

That book changed my life regarding how I hunted crows....I couldn't do everything in that book but it was extremely important. Over the years I watched others making mistakes left and right.

Have any of you ever tried hunting with a shotgun with a mini size shotgun optical aiming system, or small telescope, mounted on it? Actually , I believe that these aiming aids are NOT telescopes, as the ones I've read about do not magnify the image. One popular brand is Aimpoint, and I believe that ther...

Of an upcoming hunting trip to me is almost like being a kid again. Getting things together, checking equipment y'all get the picture. As you can tell I'm heading out tomorrow for a 3 day hunt.

Won't be long until the crows push south so Im taking advantage of my last week or so. Dog and I chased a huge feeding flock around late yesterday afternoon.

10ga and I got this Saturday and Sunday morning, 9/29 and 9/30, we had one the best two day shoots for these parts we can ask for in September. We took down 64 birds between us. We were both using 1 1/8 ounce of #6 from a pair of 10 gauge double guns, a Lefever and an Ithaca. This morning we had an immature Ba...

Well, due to circumstances beyond my control, it took until today to get out with my crow-busting pal Larry the Master Machinist. My wife has been dealing most of the year with lower back miseries.

The fall crow season is off to a rather slow start in my part of NH. I got out with "10ga" on Wed morning and this morning. Earlier this summer I picked up what is now my oldest shotgun.

Just when I thought that crow hunting possibilities would never return from last season, because of a long hot summer, I had my faith restored today that I would get to bust a few before long.
