Feeling nostalgic this morning.
(Preview)
The first photo is from 1965 where it all started for me. That was my first taste of volume crow shooting and where I met Boyd Robeson for the first time in October of 1965. That is an old 1952 Chevy we used as our hunting rig in those days. The next photo was taken in 1974 in Kansas in October over in Stafford C...

Another One-Bird Hunt

Another one-bird hunt. I previously reported on a couple of one-bird crow hunts that took place during our MI Feb.-Mar. crow season—those were OK but not great, as they each resulted in one bandit down each time. TBC did get better as the season progressed and I’m getting ready for our “Part Two” crow s...
