Next morning on was one of my river spots and rolled 34 of them. Then got out this morning and busted another 35. Did get one triple and a couple doubles. Popp...

I shared my experience with Skip, who suggested I also share it with all of you gentlemen, in case any of you are considering purchasing one of these devices. My field report is below, enjoy!

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...

Here is a picture from earlier in Michigan's season...when we actually had some snow. This is the 4th year in a row that I shot a piebald from this same blind location. Dont start asking me about genetics of birds around here, lets just give Lady Luck the credit on this. This one worked in nice and tight...

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.

I had dinner tonight with a waterfowling friend who lives in Salisbury MA. His father and uncle were avid crow hunters back in the day, 1950's and early 1960's.

Is the Jack Mincey (JLM) cocobolo custom call the same call that comes with Bob's CD/call combo? If not, what are the differences? Thanks!

Hello All! It's been some time that I have been able to join in the conversations and even longer getting into the field for crows. Well, I finally did get to call some and I also introduced an extended family member, John, to the fun of crow hunting. I went to Delaware for the conservation snow goose seas...

Pete (NH Crow) got me enthused to post some of these photos. I have posted some of them in the past but if you think about how fast time goes by just look at the time span between Pete's photos from 1953 and 1954 to a mere 10 years later in some of the waterfowl photos. The crow hunting photos date back to 1974 t...

For me, its the fighting crow on my FoxPro and a little custom made bite down rabbit in distress caller! When the fighting crow sound starts to wind down a bit or I need to turn some crows, I can hit that bite down while the fighting crow is still playing and can get some amazing results! Its just that little...

Just generally speaking what camo patterns has everyone used and what did you like most?

Realtree Xtra is also a good one, does anybody use any digi...

I didn't have much to report initially, but was inspired by today's action.Hunts 1 and 2 were almost identical, in that only two shots fired each. # 1, on 1 FEB (Opening Day) was at the same location as 1 FEB, 16, when I downed five bandits. This time, they came in and flared—even with excellent camouflag...
