According to this article a biologist in PA reported there were 25,000 crow hunters taking 200,000 birds in that state. I doubt very much there are 25,000 crow hunter in the entire country! Four birds per hunter, I think that estimate is way off base as well. What is your guess on how many folks are...

You folks here have seen far worse happen than I to be sure particularly you foplks in the big crow states with hundreds of thousands of crows. Well it had to have happened here...?

A film by an Internet aquaintence of shooting crows in Ireland (not sure North or South) on this you can see what we call a Grey crow (opposite of your Piebald, as it has a grey body and black wings. We also have grey backs, that only have a grey back, the rest being black. They are all mutations of the Carr...

Admin, delete if not allowed Most important with ANY make of flapper, including the FF5, break the wings of any dead bird you mount, if you don't, although it will work to start, as rigorous mortis sets in, there will be increasing resistance as the time goes on and will then burn out the motor when it g...

I know this is a sensative topic so go easy on me. Small shot such as 71/2 and 8 shot is all you need to kill crows. The reason why people don't believe it is because most shells in those shot sizes are inferior loads. Try Rem nitros ,AA Win,or any good load and you'll be impressed with results and glad about r...

We just completed our second half (Part “B”) of Crow Week. This is where we put together hunts with Jerry Tomlin, expert crow guide from Milledgeville, GA, but base it out of a family home between Aiken, SC & Augusta, GA.

Hunted almost all day today from a single stand. Weather was mostly cloudy with a west wind at 10 to 20 mph with a few 30 mph gusts. Shooting started slow but really picked up in the 10AM to 1:45PM window. I ended up with 66 birds down for 105 shells. The highlight of my day happened at 1:30 when a long str...

I ended up going by myself last Saturday to south Dallas County here in Bama. The morning started out okay but faded fast after 8:00 AM. Ended up with 46 birds. I am guessing the heat and the drought are keeping the birds north. I didn't hear a single fish crow all morning.

Hey all! I'm fairly new to crow hunting. I have a question (many actually...) but concerning locating a blind.

Last year I found a small roost just over the Kansas & Oklahoma state line of around 10 to 12 thousand birds. This year there are roughly 15 to 18 thousand birds using this roost, so things are looking up.

Hi guys, Yesterday, Texas Matt had a couple of good hours afield. It started with me at 7:20AM butchering a shot at 100 yards or so on a sitting crow in a jag with my .17HMR, then we set up a stand and starting grinding them with our Metro Maxus's. By 9:30AM we had 150 plus crows down including these 2 f...
