Not so old, old, and older.

No, not us, our shotguns. The ones we used this morning at a place that produces about this many each time we visit. Morning began very slowly with the first flight (unusually so) flaring off due to something. But, they returned. Larry the Master Machinist (“Der Meister” as he would be addressed in Ger...

Gents, I have a question............
(Preview)
Up until last year I've always used a cassette player. My wife got me a Primos Alpha Dog for my birthday last year and it came with pre loaded sounds. Crow Frenzy, Crow attack etc. The one that has always worked the best for us is/was the death cry of a crow, crow in distress or what ever you wish to call i...

Short range but effective crow call...
(Preview)
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...

Couple of townies dropped by.

Townies. Can’t stand em.’ They’re way too sassy.Been packed up ready to deploy for several days without doing so due to various flaky reasons. Decided last night that I would march northward this morning, a whole 1.6 miles from home, just outside of city limits to a known Townie hangout, at a summer RV...

The End Has Come

Today marks the end of the season, in the Republik of MD, for nasty boogers so it was the last chance to try them. Went to the C&D canal again this morning and arrived before light. Well, pulled up on the levee, gathered my things, and walked about 300 yards to where I was gonna set up. Put the Crow,Fish...

Hello from Germany
(Preview)
Hi Lads, I've been inactive for a while but I thought I'd pop in to say hi. Life's been good and I've learned a lot and hunted crows (and foxes, boar, ducks etc.) since last I've been here. We've brought up the sons count to three, I've added a good bit to my hunting gear and finally got a dog. A fine Labrador...

Pump guns and memories (Pic's)

The huntin threads got me to open the safe (dang near forgot combination) anyway I have always enjoyed seeing y'alls guns in your pics. M12(Ted) pics are off the charts, O.A. And others do great also. So while I was looking I took a pic of a few of my pump guns to share and while I was in there I saw my Dads car...

Vanishing Cornfield Feeders
(Preview)
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...

Nontox Crow load

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.

Distortion-free auxiliary speakers

My solution was to power up my FoxPro Spitfire, using an inexpensive amplifier powered by a 7ah battery, and two auxiliary speakers. I have refined this system to the point where i...

Since I see very little activity I have to assume that everyone except for Demi is doing worth a damn on crows this year? Is this a fair statement? I know Pete mentioned that this was the worst season he has ever had to endure because of weather conditions. "you can't fight the weather" Butch says his num...

High, Low or no matter?

Hey Butch (and other southern hunters...) The area I hunt (central MS) has what I guess I would call gently rolling hills for the most part... I'm trying to pick some spots to set-up my blind for next year. In general have you noticed whether it matters if you set up in a low spot or high ground? I mostly...

My Fish Crow Fantasy Fulfilled!
(Preview)
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...

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.

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...
