Any crows with any intelligence are hauling ass to get out of Florida and Georgia with this weather rolling in. If I were a crow I would head for Tennessee for the next few weeks! I have seen wind as strong as 50 mph I can't imagine sustained wind of 74 mph or stronger like they are going to experience in Flor...

Finally made it out for a hunt. Due to family matters dating from late July, and settling estate matters, this was the first time I’ve been out during the MI AUG-SEP season (FYI: we have two, including FEB-MAR). So, since I didn’t have time to gather proper foliage for my portable blind, I opted to this o...

While I haven't finished my packet for the local landowners, went and tried my luck at the State Forest. Found a nice place to use as a natural blind, set up Hootie and the Fish Crows and settled in. Action was fast at first then dropped off. Waited a little while and started blowing again. Well, those nas...

Greetings Crowbusters! Just a quick hunt report here. I had the ability to go in late to work earlier this week so I took my 7 y/o daughter on a quick crow hunt. Pics below.

As I am now gearing up for a more structured approach to crow hunting, I need some help. I'll be approaching farmers and/or landowners for permission to hunt. I would also like to have some written parameters as to what each party should expect. My thinking is that a more professional approach will op...

Season starts here in 1 week. I have talked to several landowners with no luck. Even with my dashing good looks and Southern charm, AND the striking beauty of the Hoodoo Lady , they have remained unconvinced to give the written permission needed. Any suggestions?
