Distortion-free auxiliary speakers
(Preview)
Being fundamentally frugal ("cheap") and enjoying tinkering, a couple of years ago I decided I needed more sound power. My solution was to power up my FoxPro Spitfire, using an inexpensive amplifier powered by a 7ah battery, and two auxiliary speakers. I have refined this system to the point where i...

How is your crow hunting this season?
(

)
(Preview)
Since I see very little activity I have to assume that everyone except for Demi is doing worth a damn on crows this year? Is this a fair statement? I know Pete mentioned that this was the worst season he has ever had to endure because of weather conditions. "you can't fight the weather" Butch says his num...

February 2018.

I'm only going to post these one at a time as this software does not take most of my photos. Big Honkers will post some of my photos as this site needs to be updated so it will take larger files like other sites do.

High, Low or no matter?
(Preview)
Hey Butch (and other southern hunters...) The area I hunt (central MS) has what I guess I would call gently rolling hills for the most part... I'm trying to pick some spots to set-up my blind for next year. In general have you noticed whether it matters if you set up in a low spot or high ground? I mostly...

My Fish Crow Fantasy Fulfilled!
(Preview)
Fish Crows have always been a big challenge for me. In addition to being smaller and having a different call, they are extremely wary, in part because they usually travel in large groups (typically from 25 to 100) in order to have more eyes looking for danger. At the slightest sign of trouble they go fo...

Bob Aronsohn--A 400 Beretta

Bob, You mentioned that your Beretta A 400 jammed several times one afternoon. What kind of shells (make, load) were you shooting? How many times had the gun been shot since it was thoroughly cleaned? I have, and use, only SKB gas operated automatic shotguns, that were made 30-45 years ago. They usua...

Time to hunt!
(Preview)
Gonna be heading out here in about an hour to hopefully have what’s appearing to be the best hunt this year. I found a ton of crows staging before the roost and filtering in and out to feed throughout the day. Hopefully everything turns out right and they work like they need to. Gonna have the wind at my bac...

Calling it a year

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

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.

Crow hunting tips and setups

I am new to crow hunting and have been out a couple times but have only gotten lucky my first time with 4 crows. I have about 30 DIY made crow decoys and a primos alpha dog. I usually call them in but I don't get too many to come in or the scouts come in then leave and don't come back with more crows. I usually hun...

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...
