Any Suggestions?

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?

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...

TBC did get better as the season progressed and I’m getting ready for our “Part Two” crow s...
