Hi boys, Anybody headed to the NRA Annual Meetings in late April? Gadget Bob will be in the house and there is an unconfirmed rumor that Field Marshal von Woody may be on-site to review the crow hunting troops. 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. There is another one called "Hunting the Greatest Avian Marauder, the Crow" and yet another called "Hunting those Cagey Crows" They ar...

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. Not a lot compared to others but this is within 20 minutes of my home. After a bleak winter this is a purely spir...

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. 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...

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' .

When crow hunting, there is nothing more aggravating than equipment failure. Especially when it's 6:00 AM, 15 degrees, and still dark. I have had this happen to me about 50 times during the past 8-10 years. I finally got tired, fed-up, and disgusted beyond endurance, and became determined to fix a p...

The first photo is of my dad and I in 1957 when I used an air rifle for the cripples, I was 9 years old in this first photo. The second photo is of my dad's stuffed owl where his head and wings moved on a timer. He had a live owl also! The third photo was taken in the fall of 1965 in South Dakota.
