Of an upcoming hunting trip to me is almost like being a kid again. Getting things together, checking equipment y'all get the picture. As you can tell I'm heading out tomorrow for a 3 day hunt. Not expecting a lot but hoping for a barn burner (lol). I can only guarantee that if the crows show up, Good Lord w...

Won't be long until the crows push south so Im taking advantage of my last week or so. Dog and I chased a huge feeding flock around late yesterday afternoon. Would be nice if these birds travelled in smaller groups but as it always is here, they move about as one big black cloud. First stand was along a rive...

10ga and I got this Saturday and Sunday morning, 9/29 and 9/30, we had one the best two day shoots for these parts we can ask for in September. We took down 64 birds between us. We were both using 1 1/8 ounce of #6 from a pair of 10 gauge double guns, a Lefever and an Ithaca. This morning we had an immature Ba...

Hello Gentlemen of the Crow, This reporter is fresh off of a new TCP solo record effort with 91 crows taken on Saturday near the Red River. Key equipment deployed: FOXPRO Snow Crow Pro eCaller - Without it, results would be significantly lower. Loud calling with FOXPRO's legendary clear sound a...

Well, due to circumstances beyond my control, it took until today to get out with my crow-busting pal Larry the Master Machinist. My wife has been dealing most of the year with lower back miseries. So, due to these and other responsibilities, I was out of action for the AUG-SEP Michigan season. But, we...

Been a while since I’ve posted anything and it’s been rather quiet here so I thought I’d get things rolling. Hot dry summer netted me some decent run and gun but the cooling temperatures and turning leaves have me pumped for shooting some crows. Sadly wet conditions have prevailed this past few weeks...

Or would a crow drive "caw?" I went to a guitar jam last night and a new friend's garage. The man had dozens of old license plates from all over the world mounted on the walls. This one caught my eye pretty quickly. Just happens to also be my birth year. -- Edited by Mainehunt on Friday 21st of September 2018...

Where did you go?

I went back to the same blind where I shot 66 yesterday, I figured they were migrant crows that were long gone and new fresh flocks would be moving across the state out of the north again today. 10ga joined me today, birds didn't really move until 10AM and the big push was over for the most part around 1PM....

First I had been hearing crows all summer long down the river somewhere...don't recall any juveniles but I am sure I probably did out there somewhat faintly.

The fall crow season is off to a rather slow start in my part of NH. I got out with "10ga" on Wed morning and this morning. Earlier this summer I picked up what is now my oldest shotgun. A Lefever F grade 10ga double from 1891. Light for a 10ga double at 8 lbs 2 oz it's 30" barrels shoot 53% and 85% at 40 yards...

Just when I thought that crow hunting possibilities would never return from last season, because of a long hot summer, I had my faith restored today that I would get to bust a few before long. I was out on my back deck today, and a flock of about 100 grackle flew over. It would be virtually impossible to see...

Started last year on the 16th of Sept. an had a good shoot (80 plus) If memory serves me without checking. Struggled all year to find good numbers of birds after that. Thought I would be able to put some legwork in, an open up more properties to hunt but priorities took up my time this off season. Hoping my...

Here in Indiana you can shoot these invasive species any time so since it is finally warming up I am going to give it a try, if nothing else it will be good practice.

True, never missed once... Because it has only been two weeks since my neck surgery. The doctors don’t want me to even lift my gun, much less shoot it! The farmer of the same dove field we shot last month (41 killed) called me the day before surgery, so I put him off until I felt strong enough to set up my bl...

Ventured out for one more hunt near the end of the Spring season. It was a beautiful sunny breezy day. Five to ten mph wind out of the South or South West as the day went along.

The NH fall crow season started on 8/15 and we are more than a month into it. Crows this year are noticably fewer and further between previous seasons. I have yet to go out and not get a shot at a bird but too often that is all that it has been. I have taken 71 birds thus far (and the 10ga, full choke and #6 shot...
