Fish Crows have always been a big challenge for me. In addition to being smaller and having a different call, they are extremely wary, in part because they usually travel in large groups (typically from 25 to 100) in order to have more eyes looking for danger. At the slightest sign of trouble they go fo...

How’s the season ending for everyone. Our is about a week from being done. Hoping to get out a couple more times before the end of the season. Weather is calling for rain the next 6 days. Gonna be a grind but gotta kill!

Bob, You mentioned that your Beretta A 400 jammed several times one afternoon. What kind of shells (make, load) were you shooting? How many times had the gun been shot since it was thoroughly cleaned? I have, and use, only SKB gas operated automatic shotguns, that were made 30-45 years ago. They usua...

Hello all:I wanted to share with you one of my off-season shooting-related projects that has taken a long time (they all seem to). I have always wanted to reload and have been collecting the necessary equipment and other paraphernalia for several years, in order to install a loading press and begin d...

Gonna be heading out here in about an hour to hopefully have what’s appearing to be the best hunt this year. I found a ton of crows staging before the roost and filtering in and out to feed throughout the day. Hopefully everything turns out right and they work like they need to. Gonna have the wind at my bac...

I saw quite a few flying over my place yesterday. to busy with the cows to do any shooting so i thought i would plan a pre dawn ambush for today. The crows around here are trained well so i thought i would try something different. Had everything set up as you see including 4 dead crows positioned on the brush...

is a sentry a must when setting Up? I’ve not been setting up one and have been killing. Seems like it scares the birds when I put one up. Needs opinions

Time to move on to other opportunities (crappie) as the crows put it on me this season. As I posted this year We were unable to find good numbers and in most cases areas that have produced consistently we're almost without crows. We ended killing 338 on 7 hunts compared to 910 last year and 1104 year befo...

Five years ago next month, my buddy Rick and I were desperate and we hunted from a blind built out of tires. Rick died the year after this hunt. He was one of the greatest friends I ever had. He is missed by many of us. Saturday, my buddy Isaac and I are going to hunt in this same place in the tires. We'll hav...

I went on my first crow hunt the other day and had ablast. I think I like it as much as waterfowl. We killed 101 in about 6 hours. The guy I was hunting with had out about 50 decoys and electric caller. What electric caller would you recommend without breaking the bank? Where is a good place to buy decoys? I...

I have tried 3 different mouth calls and they sound great inside but I live in northern NY and after the first couple blows of the morning they seem to be freezing up. Am I doing something wrong or is it there a better option? I have tried keeping them tucked in my coat but not always an option.

I have been looking for a Johnny Stewart Crow CD or MP3 format sounds for my fox pro caller and I have not been able to find them. Does somebody know where I can get them?

DDarren12 · DDarren12

I am new to crow hunting and have been out a couple times but have only gotten lucky my first time with 4 crows. I have about 30 DIY made crow decoys and a primos alpha dog. I usually call them in but I don't get too many to come in or the scouts come in then leave and don't come back with more crows. I usually hun...

Gonna be heading out Saturday morning for an all day hunt on a feed set! Birds filtering in and out all day! Got colder weather coming Sunday so hoping for a great shoot Saturday. Anyone else heading out this weekend? If so, what’s your predictions?

Howdy everyone, I'm new to the forum and crow hunting (but an avid hunter of 30 years) and am hoping to glean info to get some good shots going. I'm having trouble finding the flyway out of my nearest roost, downtown Des Moines. 1000s roost, but seem to disappear before leaving city limits. I got invi...

Hey fellow crow brothers, Long time no post! I see a ton of new handles on the site. I hope some of you remember me. I retired in 15 and couldn't wait to start hammerin them crows on a daily basis or when ever i saw fit. Unfortunately that same fall some guys started following the birds and shooting the roost...

Had a great hunt this morning over a tilled bean field where I had seen quite a few birds this week. Could have been better had we not had a big thaw the last 3 days.

Hi guys, new to the forum, but not new to crow hunting. Just wondering what some of your favorite CROW loads are... One of my favorite loads is a 1 1/8 oz. load of magnum #2 lead, which has exactly 100 pellets in the load. This load is chronographed at 1,510 fps. from my 34" Hastings Wadlock barrel on my Re...

Hi all, I am a new hunter and new to crows too. I was out today, successfully called in several crows and missed 6 times! I am using A 20-gauge shotgun with an improved-cylinder choke, 7/1/2 shot. I lead a bit on each shot. What am I doing wrong? Wrong choke? I am guessing the shots were about 40-50 yards awa...

I’m new to the crow hunting world and I’m looking for some tips and tricks. I’ve got a dozen flocked decoys a mojo crow along with the lucky duck triple threat and I’m using a fox pro call. I really appreciate any output. Thanks in advance!

First couple of weekends were pretty busy, but doesn't take long for the masses to catch on, 89 on the first weekend and 63 this weekend. Today was dismal at 7 birds , Overall though been having a blast.

Looking to upgrade my call. I have a firestorm right now. I have an external sp55 that I hook to it for crow hunting. It works great, but I don't really care for the tx9 remote. And I wouldn't mind having a bit more volume at times. I would like to stick with the tx1000 remote. I am looking at the shockwave a...

Alright my fellow crow hunters. I’m in search of a good caller. Something with some good and loud range. Mainly at an affordable price. Any ideas on building one or what’s the best optio? Thanks

Opening day of Maine Winter/Spring crow season today. We took down 23 birds. We saw a lot in southern Maine for this early. I think the extreme cold snap we had for a couple weeks after Chistmas pushed a lot birds out of the north country. The odd thing about today is how the birds came in, it was always lar...

I shot this one here in Logan county Oklahoma back in 1999. yes, a little late on posting but i'm a newbie.

What a way start the New Years day, a shoot in peanut field yielded over 200+ birds! Shoot resulted in 13 triples, 1 quad, and 1 two-fer (2 birds 1 shot). I will have a hard time beating that in shoots to come! The shoot was 4-miles from a roost and just a hand call and decoys were used. The pecan orchard shoot...
