Hello yall. It has been awhile! Have not visited in a long time and glad to be back. I had the chance to hang around some of the younger generation over the weekend and one of them had a .50 cal ammo boom box that sounded great. Music sounded great and then I thought.... yep that might be excellent for crow...

Shot a few crows yesterday evening with some difficulty as cover is still sparse. Only was I met with some success when the sun got low and I was able to use shadows to mask my presence. Below a pic of 6 birds shot from the same stand. These were perhaps the fastest half dozen I have ever collected as I would e...

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...

I have one of the largest farmers in North Ga as a friend. Met him about 10 years ago and he has opened up his property for me to hunt crows. I was not able to hunt the regular fall season still healing from back fusion . I got a call from him the other day, and said the crows are eating his corn after it has just be...

Hi boys, Anybody headed to the NRA Annual Meetings in late April?

Hope to see you there in Atlanta on Saturday and Sunday, April 29th and 30th. If anyone is pla...

Well, as the title states...my spring shooting is mostly done. Had some decent shoots from several locations but for the most part, northward migration of crows has finished. Now the task of setting up home territories and raising more targets begins. Once the countryside greens up a bit I will ru...

Pete, If you can put up the film clip "Bob Aronsohn shoots his 100,000th crow in 28 seasons" it will be something for the fellas to look at during this dead time of year.

Took my boy out for a few crows. Left my shotgun at home as this was all about him. Plenty of shots fired, young fella got some nice kills and missed a lot of great chances. Pictured below my boy with his first big glossy crow of the season. Ted

Very early spring here, plenty of bird species here a good 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Crows were no exception... I have been out half dozen times with the typical 20 or so bagged each morning.

Hey guys, I haven't been around for a while but hope all is well. We moved and have been working on our new homestead so haven't taken the time to hunt much lately.

Killing a lot of crows in a day is always gratifying. But quantity is not the only prerequisite of good, and fun, crow hunting. Quality of the hunt is also required to have a good day in the field, including good weather, a lot of crows to shoot at, a good total score, and a high percentage of hits. Thinking...

A guy in my area who does fairly well on crows says to get well away from the woods when hunting crows. I was wondering if any of you actually set up in the woods to hunt them and are you being successful? It seems like it would be a lot of fun if they do respond at all.

One of the owners of the many dove fields around here called to ask for help with a crow problem again. We hunted this field a couple months back and bagged 65.

Hello fellow Crow Busters, Has anyone tried or have had any experience with the Primos Old Crow Call? It has some potential but mine at the moment sounds more like a New Years Party 'blower' .
