Headed to Texas

Hey Gadget Bob, I'll be in Texas for the next couple of weeks training some police departments and wondered if you were anywhere around the El Paso or Allen Texas area. I should have some time to visit if you are just a few hours away or not. I head out on Sunday so let me know. Either way I hope you're well! S...

Another One-Bird Hunt
(Preview)
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...

Crow shooting scores without a miss

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...

Who hunts them from the woods?
(Preview)
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. He recently re-planted the field and the crows had returned to pull up the sprouted seeds. Our season is over but crop damaging crows can be hunted...
