Crow hunting question
(Preview)
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?

Owl or hawk calls
(Preview)
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.

Tail end of Iowa's second season
(Preview)
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...

Not cause’ I wouldn’t head out again, it’s that there will be worship commitments or poor weather through Sat.However, this morning was just about perfect for a March hunt: 38 deg., no wind, and overcast. Typical blueberry field setup and typically highly-educated locals, except for four low and s...

Educated birds, coffee, and plum cake.
(Preview)
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...

Short range but effective crow call...

This works great at close range say a couple hundred yards-it'll bring 'em in and is very handy if you "run and gun"...you could attach an external speaker making it even more versatile too...it's most effective use is to get near where crows are nearby or expected to fly over....hang it off your belt o...

Reconned a favorite spot yesterday, a week following the rains, and was pleased to find it passable, unlike the mire it was a few days ago. So, I set the blind up last night to save some time. This place is in a large, open cornfield, about 6 miles E of town on a main road. While setting up the blind yesterday...

What do you guys shoot on marshes and areas where non-tox is required? I hate the stuff, but it is a fact of life. Normally I shoot a 1 1/8oz handload of #7s at 1300fps.
