Parameters for the test are: shotgun used is a SKB M-XL900, 26" bbl. 12 ga. with various chokes and shells. Aiming point w...

Not a crow hunt post
(Preview)
Havent ben in a while but got after the Whitetails down here on "public land" which is very challenging to say the least. Got fortunate on the black powder hunt and took a nice 7 pt. and a week later took this 9 pt. with the rifle below. This area is heavily hunted and to connect is difficult so as you can tell...

Reloads not recommended for semi-automatics..

All my remmington 1100 problems resulted from reloads!! This was years ago. I sold the gun which as we might expect I regret now especially now that the gun shop I frequented jumped their prices across the board by a hundred smackeroos...my experience has been the 1100 was ideal for a crow buster!

DIfferent mouth/hand calls
(Preview)
What call or calls hang on your lanyard? I mostly rely on my FoxPro but I still have a hand calls with me. I use a Mallard Tone and a Gibson. I like Mallard Tone mostly because its a deeper pitch/tone sound. Is it smart to have different tones or pitch? I ask because when I listen to the crows around my house I a...

Third Shoot at Nearby Pecan Orchard

Went out this morning to a pecan orchard we have already shot twice this year (107 on 1st hunt & 61 on 2nd due to fog). There were two of us: me and my new friend who is 84 years old. He's been suffering from a chronic back condition that will hopefully be fixed on the 30th of this month. Even with a l...

Yesterday morning around 0940 while downing the last several birds of a 41 bird outing, I spotting a Game Warden approaching my position! "How are you this morning" in a nice cheerful voice was his opening comment to me. Knowing I was completely legal I responded "better before I saw you" with a smile!...

Newly Established TCP "Solo" Hunt Record - Somebody has to hold it!

Hi boys, Very inconsistent, and frequently, slow crow hunting for us here in Texas this fall. One weekend we dropped more hogs (13) than total crows shot on other weekends. For another example, one Friday in mid-October I drove 304 miles, to a central Texas ranch that declared they had a lot...

Lack of good food sources!

I have noticed over the past so many years the farmer is far more efficient at collecting spilt corn or not spilling any at all! This would explain a lot don't we think No wonder! That is what happened to former areas frequently heavily infested by crows! I wonder why it didn't occur to me sooner! Take a...

Well guys, I was going to save the new shotgun purchase until next year, but I decided to get it now being that it looks like I'll be able to get on a huge dairy farm with lots of corn a handful of times in the next month or two. I bought a Beretta A300 Outlander (online), it's supposed to be delivered to a local...

Insane weather generating disappointing crow season...
(Preview)
Sure they are moving through the state but nothing at all like last year. You'll see this big flight and maybe a couple traveling together half hour afterwards! Next another group of 50(?) whom you could get a round off or two and then nothing for up to an hour later! I have seen no roosting behavior at a...

Then, at the usual time about 20 min. before sunrise, came the usual crow racket. But this time (Sat.) there was considerably more sound. So...

Hello everyone!! What a great forum you have here. I shot a few crow last summer with my 17 WSM. Bad thing was they had to land in a tree before I could think of getting a shot off. This year I will go out with a 12 gauge. The season starts August 1st. I'm very excited. I'll post up some pics if I get any. It'...

We hunted in Stewarts pecan orchard, and I killed 12. My friend died 15 years ago, and I now live in Winston Salem, N.C. I still...
