Rarest of the Rare
(Preview)
Wednesday December 7th, 1941 was Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, "a day that will live in infamy". But at 9:36 a.m. December 7th, 2016 it became a day that will live famously in my memory! June 2016 marked 60 years of chasing my favorite target: the common crow. I do not keep exact numbers but co...

Crow shooting scores
(Preview)
Curious about my crow shooting scores, on a per hunt basis, I sit down with my crow shooting record, and trusty calculator, and figured my total score for 19 hunts. The only criterion employed was that I killed at least 20 crows each day. Not to skewer the results, I included my best days (highest scores...

Went out this morning and hunted with a friend and his son. The friend is a regular "Crow Week" attendee but this was the first time his (grown) son has hunted crows. With 3 people including one with young kids and Christmas, it was a scheduling nightmare that started weeks ago. They have a field whe...

What makes for bad crow hunting?
(Preview)
I did my first crow hunt the other morning; it was awesome. Despite my bad calling and 20 mph winds crows came to my 5 decoys and I shot a couple. The next day I hunted a different field in the afternoon. I got there around 1 pm and heard a lone crow calling. I got brushed in good behind a burlap blind and cal...

My friend Brian and I are going back to the field we killed 188 in last year. Last year it was peanuts and this year it is corn. The farmer said the crows have it covered up. Last year we set up in a china berry island of trees in the southern end of the middle of the field. The birds came in good obviously but th...

Sporty Monday Hunt

26 degrees, 72% humidity and 10 to 20 mph winds make an Alabama a:m Crow hunt a challenge. And boy did my son and I stink it up, we shot the worst. I got all the excuses, heavy clothes, cold, birds that did things and flew by like F-16's. But joking aside they put it on us, we had one of those days you just have to...

Snowstorm Bandits

We had a pretty big storm roll through on Sunday night and that always gets the crows moving well around here. I watched a really big feed on Monday about 3 concessions away from the roost and decided to get after them on Tuesday. I set up on the edge of the bush with a layout blind and snow cover. I know a l...

What Is Your Favorite Video?

There are so many crow hunting videos out there. Many are long, boring and include mostly missed shots. But a few videos float to the surface as great videos... some because of content, others because of the well known hunter(s), video techniques can do it, but then there are the ones that just capt...

Good Hunt
(Preview)
We had a good hunt at one of the dove fields that I have been recruited to keep devoid of crows. This is one of our more productive fields because it is quite close to the County Landfill, so we can attract many of the crows headed to or returning from the dump. Maybe they want to rid the taste of garbage wit...

Forty-nine years later

I officially started my crow hunting romance on Oct. 28, 1967. Yep, 1967! As years went by, I enjoyed periods of intense pursuit, but for many years, I was literally absent from the sport. Even though I have killed a few thousand crows, there was one thing that I had never experienced, until last Frida...

Crow brains and behaviour, well worth the reading (see the "Bird Brainiacs" post too)
(Preview)
I have a pigeon, a grey crow, and two rooks captive at this moment. All were shot, but only hit in one wing, so survived, and now I have them captive and feed them twice an day, and give them water too. Although they realise I'm the one who shot them, the grey crow and pigeon are already becoming "trusting"...

Being Thanksgiving, my son flew in for a visit and a little hunting.

25,000 Crow Hunters?
(Preview)
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...
