Dick Mermons' book changed the way I shoot crows....
(Preview)
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. Building a permanent blind in example was out of the question...so I made use of natural "blinds" and then t...

Mini, or small, shotgun aiming systems
(Preview)
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...

Anticipation ! (Update)
(Preview)
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. Not expecting a lot but hoping for a barn burner (lol). I can only guarantee that if the crows show up, Good Lord w...

More Fall Crows
(Preview)
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. Would be nice if these birds travelled in smaller groups but as it always is here, they move about as one big black cloud. First stand was along a rive...

Two good September Days
(Preview)
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...

The one-day season.

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. So, due to these and other responsibilities, I was out of action for the AUG-SEP Michigan season. But, we...

Fall crows
(Preview)
Been a while since I’ve posted anything and it’s been rather quiet here so I thought I’d get things rolling. Hot dry summer netted me some decent run and gun but the cooling temperatures and turning leaves have me pumped for shooting some crows. Sadly wet conditions have prevailed this past few weeks...

Vermont CROWS drive cars?
(Preview)
Or would a crow drive "caw?" I went to a guitar jam last night and a new friend's garage. The man had dozens of old license plates from all over the world mounted on the walls. This one caught my eye pretty quickly. Just happens to also be my birth year. -- Edited by Mainehunt on Friday 21st of September 2018...

(Preview)
I went back to the same blind where I shot 66 yesterday, I figured they were migrant crows that were long gone and new fresh flocks would be moving across the state out of the north again today. 10ga joined me today, birds didn't really move until 10AM and the big push was over for the most part around 1PM....

New fall season, new to me shotgun
(Preview)
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. A Lefever F grade 10ga double from 1891. Light for a 10ga double at 8 lbs 2 oz it's 30" barrels shoot 53% and 85% at 40 yards...

Don't give up yet
(Preview)
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. I was out on my back deck today, and a flock of about 100 grackle flew over. It would be virtually impossible to see...

14 Crows Down & I Never Missed Once!!

True, never missed once... Because it has only been two weeks since my neck surgery. The doctors don’t want me to even lift my gun, much less shoot it! The farmer of the same dove field we shot last month (41 killed) called me the day before surgery, so I put him off until I felt strong enough to set up my bl...

Set up in three different places and had a fine adventure. Stand #1 was a roughly 40 acre bean field where I had seen crows on the groun...
