Ventured out for one more hunt near the end of the Spring season. It was a beautiful sunny breezy day. Five to ten mph wind out of the South or South West as the day went along. 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...

The NH fall crow season started on 8/15 and we are more than a month into it. Crows this year are noticably fewer and further between previous seasons.

Hello, If you are an accomplished crow hunter please share your setup, best times of day, and how you attract them within shotgun range. My son and I have just started and had some pretty good success. I'm not sure if we are over calling or getting them too excited too early. We seem to always get 1 or 2 out o...

Enjoyable Viewing

If there is one thing I enjoy, it’s watching a good shooter pull the trigger. If there is one thing I enjoy even more, it’s seeing good shots from a ShotKam video! The icing on the cake is when those videos are of crows being brought down. Here are a couple for your enjoyment. Hope they aren’t repeats. h...

Anyone hunt the spring migration? NH & Ted (Model 12) do but I have not heard a peep out of Pete in NH. The new guy from northeast Iowa does, his name is Randy. Possibly Jason (big honkers) in Michigan might?

First Crow Season - Fails
(Preview)
Here are a few photos and stories from my first season of deliberately going after crows. Started with some decoys and an owl. Spread around in an old sheltered farmstead like this. A sentry was placed up on the canopy of the old trusty 4020 tractor. Time of day was roughly 3:30 or maybe 4:00pm.
