Crow Hunting in Northern California for a Crow Documentary
(Preview)
Hello, I'm new to the forum. Thanks to everyone for this amazing resource. I'm currently making a documentary about crows in Sunnyvale, CA, and was wondering if anyone knows or is a crow hunter around the Bay Area. Would love to interview them about crows. Thanks for your help!

Amazing FOUR hunts in nearly the same place!!
(Preview)
In years past when we were mostly "run and gunning" we rarely hunted the same spot more than once a year.. sometimes twice seperated by quite a few weeks. We switched about 10 years ago to hunting peanut and pecans orchards/fields or any "feeding" set up. But still I did not hunt the same place more than t...

Fall 2023
(Preview)
Hey all, The crows started showing up the last week of October and we were getting antsy. The group we were after was only accessible from one side and the wind wouldn't cooperate. So, on 2 Nov. we went to plan B. It was a limited number, but the weather was nice and the set up easy. We started at about 3:00....

Your shotgun (or pistol or rifle) is an engine!

Yup, sure is! Most, maybe all already knew this. But have you ever thought of how much horsepower your crow buster generates?

Good news, I'm alive & fairly back to normal other than missing a word every now and then. I had a torn liner in my carotid artery that caused my stroke. It should heal itself so...

Seems like the summer goes rather quickly after the 4th of July. Fall is not that far off, are you starting to get the itch yet?

Has the economy stopped you from hunting crows?

This is just my opinion, but I think gas and ammo prices have shut a lot of guys down this season so far? Let's hear some feedback?

Ithaca 51 12ga (Pattern tested)

I recently dusted off my late father's Ithaca 51 12ga autoloader. I contacted Les Hovencamp of Diamond Gunsmithing in Ithaca NY and I installed a new action spring, bolt buffer and receiver buffer. These guns were known to be fragile and they needed a longer action spring when they were brand new. ...

Only a few days left here, dropped 33 a few days ago at a place I deer hunt. Dusted 24 this morning in a pipeline clearing close to home with a stiff north wind. They lined up right in front of me while I was standing in the shadows of a cedar tree. Fairly easy shooting for a windy day. That puts my clicker at 66...

Retirement (from crow hunting)

Three years ago today, Dec. 27, 2019 I shot my last crow. I sold all my crow hunting gear since then, and about all that I have to do with crow hunting now is think about it. Do I miss it, not really, but I think about those days which lasted approx. 55 years. But there was one span of about 27 years in which I cro...

I went on a 3 day outing with an older fella that wanted to shoot some crows. We revisited some areas that Dale and I had been earlier in the season. One of the first stops was really a scouting venture and when I parked by the orchard to see what activity was going on I could hear occasional gun shots, come to...
