Crows, Sod & Seed
(Preview)
Had an interesting hunt on Monday. A close friend who sells fertilizer has helped me connect with several farmers with crow problems. One of his friends said he had some, so I asked both of them to come along on a hunt...this trip was more social than about crow numbers. The farmer is a well-heeled ma...

Evening Shoot
(Preview)
As said feeling a bit restless this evening as I have been in a training course this past few weeks. Threw my sons light little 20 auto in the truck and grabbed a box of 20 gauge fodder in the unlikely event that a few crows could be had before dark only a few miles from my home. Once the caller was activated, t...

Dead birds in the decoys
(Preview)
I had a good laugh this morning when a so called crow hunting expert on another forum told me he hides all his dead birds because it makes crows circle out of range. Certainly crows that glide and crash outside of shotgun range will cause a crow to stop and circle but most will then continue on towards the...

First "Real" Hunt of the Season
(Preview)
Two of us went out this morning for some pre-season crow control in a pecan orchard in nearby Hollywood, SC. Had one earlier hunt in the summer to chase off some local crows out of a melon patch, but this morning's hunt was real... Real (migratory) birds, real numbers and REAL fun! The crows worked in...

Crows leaving Florida and Georgia.

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...

Written Documents For Hunting On Land?

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...
