The Law Says 3 Strikes And You Are OUT!!
(Preview)
If I had known that there was going to be this much law enforcement involvement, I might not have gone after this hunt! Well...all things considered, it was a fun experience that will be the makings of some good fireside stories. Here are the details: Strike One A subcontractor of ours put me on to a ne...

First shoot
(Preview)
I knew the birds were not in good numbers yet, but I still had to give it a try. Shot in a pecan orchard in Dallas County. Same one we killed 161 in last year. I picked up 46. I was on a dang good roll for a while. I killed 40 of the first 43 birds I shot at. Some I did shoot at more than once. Then things went south. I...

A Return To The Pecan Orchard
(Preview)
A month ago, two of us shot a new pecan orchard site that was very productive. We killed 107 birds and since then, the crows have returned to the point it needed to be hunted again. This time, the owner's friend wanted to shoot so I agreed to take him and another buddy of mine. I set the blind up last night...

Crow "Hunting"
(Preview)
Thats what I'm doing, trying to find them! Bobs Hurricane post on crows leaving may be spot on. Strange lack of birds on prime property here. Made a hunt Saturday a:m on a spot that is not one of my best but we have averaged around 60 here in the past. Anyway it was overcast 69 degrees and 8 to 12 wind, not b...

C&D Crows
(Preview)
Was able to slide out this morning and shoot. I had found a place along the C&D Canal that had the potential to be a good spot. The nasty boogers were crossing the canal along a high line from south(farm land) to north(dairy farm). Only thing was the high line was in DE about 400 yrds from me legally try...

Taking crows under Federal Law - Questions
(Preview)
I just got a lead on a farmer that is having a crow problem on his 1,500 acre farm (corn), and he has passed on his name and phone number for me to call him. I haven't called him yet as I want to make sure I'm able to do this legally. From what's listed below, a Federal Permit is not needed to take crows under c...

Saturday hunt
(Preview)
Got out after them this a:m, was hoping weatherman would be right but the cooler weather slowed down and instead of mid to low 60's it was 73 when we parked the truck. Started off real slow as crows didn't respond to the E-Caller, finally close to 7 a:m they started moving some and the mouth calls were kin...

Bayou Busting
(Preview)
Traveled home last week and was able to get a short hunt in amongst family business. Set up at the edge of a cut corn field and started calling. Like a flight of stealth fighters, the first group came over tree top high and silent from behind and caught me looking elsewhere. Not to be outdone, hit them with...

Little noise in Bama
(Preview)
While it is still early, the crows seem to be hanging around the pecan orchards some already. My peanut farmers all planted late this year so it looks like it will be Oct before they start to harvest. I am ready to hammer some of the ole black bandits!

Crows, Sod & Seed

Had an interesting hunt on Monday. A close friend who sells fertilizer has helped me connect with several farmers with crow problems. One of his friends said he had some, so I asked both of them to come along on a hunt...this trip was more social than about crow numbers. The farmer is a well-heeled ma...

Evening Shoot

As said feeling a bit restless this evening as I have been in a training course this past few weeks. Threw my sons light little 20 auto in the truck and grabbed a box of 20 gauge fodder in the unlikely event that a few crows could be had before dark only a few miles from my home. Once the caller was activated, t...

Dead birds in the decoys
(Preview)
I had a good laugh this morning when a so called crow hunting expert on another forum told me he hides all his dead birds because it makes crows circle out of range. Certainly crows that glide and crash outside of shotgun range will cause a crow to stop and circle but most will then continue on towards the...

Had one earlier hunt in the summer to chase off some local crows out of a melon patch, but this morning's hunt was real... Real (migratory) birds, real numbers and REAL fun! The crows worked in...

Fall Crows

I have been chasing a good sized fall flock this past few weeks...I'd say perhaps 3000 birds. Bounced a few hundred as these have now smartened up to my operation as remain cautious to calling. Time to hunt some edible game. Had my 13 year old out this past weekend and he shot his first duck...actually du...

Just about to finish up on another summer of killing hogs down here in Alabama. Starting to see and hear a lot of crows. Looking forward to switching gears from hunting furry creatures at night to hunting flying creatures during the day! I see I have missed out on a bunch of threads on here. I got some cat...

Crows leaving Florida and Georgia.

Any crows with any intelligence are hauling ass to get out of Florida and Georgia with this weather rolling in. If I were a crow I would head for Tennessee for the next few weeks! I have seen wind as strong as 50 mph I can't imagine sustained wind of 74 mph or stronger like they are going to experience in Flor...

Finally made it out for a hunt. Due to family matters dating from late July, and settling estate matters, this was the first time I’ve been out during the MI AUG-SEP season (FYI: we have two, including FEB-MAR). So, since I didn’t have time to gather proper foliage for my portable blind, I opted to this o...
