Calling it a year
(Preview)
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...

Hunting from a tire blind
(Preview)
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...

Mouth calls in cold weather
(Preview)
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.

This Weekend's Hunt

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 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...

Looking to upgrade call

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.

Plenty of action in Maine
(Preview)
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...

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).

Peanut Crows

One of our best shoots ever! We have had higher TBC's a dozen or so times over the years but given the incredible weather ( NO wind, temps in the low 40's, overcast sky ) plus perfect hides and a huge field of peanuts full of feeding crows! Couple all of this to the stunning performance of the "crow magnet"....
