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...

I was in South Carolina earlier this week and paid Demi a visit. He was a very gracious host, we had crab legs (blue crabs) wine and chilled watermelon after we got done shooting. Here are some photos of my visit.

Scott, Your package arrived today in the mail. That was very kind of you, I will share the coffee and other goodies with my pool playing amego's. Baxter & Riley said to say thank you for the dog treats. Best regards, Bob A.

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?

I saw something I’ve never seen before. I was driving across town on a fairly busy 4 lane road and I saw a crow sitting on power line that crossed the same road. It is unusual for crows around here to sit on utility wires.. As I approached from ~300 yards the crow spread his wings and felll over backwards wit...

Glad to see some fellow shooters these days. Our laws are pretty tight up here but crows and magpies are considered pests and legal year round!

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.

Hello, So hunting crow's has recently peeked my interest. Ive had minor success killing 3 this weekend. I'm wondering if once you get the crows to come in and fire at them a couple times if the surounding birds in the area will be shy to the calls or if they won't be bothered by it cause they werent shot at? I...

Looking for a good owl or hawk call for my hand calling. Any recommendations? I’m not sure if anyone makes high quality calls like the Gibson or malardtone calls. I’ve seen the primos and some other mass produced calls but never heard anything good about them.

Guys, Over the next couple weeks I hope to post some photos I took last fall and this winter. I didn't get a lot of pics taken, sometimes the weather didn't allow it, sometimes I opted not to carry the camera in. I'll keep them fairly chronological. The second part of our "official" split season has le...

Hi lads, Sunday will be the last hunt of this years hunting season (the hunting year ends on 31st of march in germany). Officially crow season has already officially ended, but we've managed to get a special extension due to crop damage. We'll set up on a field where there's about 70 crows about. If we ge...

Decided to visit old friends who have a 140 acre backyard; coffee and baked goods following bandits (I hoped). Clear, cold, and only 3 mph wind out of the NNE. A little worried at first, as there wasn’t any response the first 10-15 minutes. I knew the degree of difficulty here was high, as these birds are...
