New to CT Crow Hunting: Finding a flyway?
(Preview)
Hi, I'm new to the forum, and fairly new to crow hunting. I live in the Northeastern part of CT and tried crow hunting (all on public land) the last 2 seasons with no luck. I've tried different times of the day, different locations, different times of the year, different calls, crow decoys and owl decoys...

Browning A5
(Preview)
My father only owned two shotguns in his entire life.. One is a mint Browning A5 Light that dad picked up new in 1961 as pictured. He coddled this shotgun, never taking it out of a gun case until the deeks were out and ready to shoot. Rescued it from the old mans gun locker a few days ago as it has been entombed...

Spring Crow Shoot Tourny With Pictures
(Preview)
Friend of mine got wind of an annual crow shoot held by a wildlife association in a rural area a couple hours west of my home. He is not an accomplished crow shooter and I'm not an overly competitive person but he easily talked me into entering. Morning of the big day, yesterday, proved to be less than idea...

Tell me about this gun.
(Preview)
Stevens model 200? It fires one round and when you eject the shell the arms let's go of the slide when you try to put in the next round. Had it for 15 years and know little about it. Figured you guys know your old guns better than I.

So far my best results have been with electric fence poles that i can step into the ground but they are still short. Have you all ever used any kind of extendable poles that are stable and will allow a net to be hooked onto it eas...

Check out the video below, you may have to turn the sound up a bit. I took the video this afternoon. This was taken right across the street from where I work.

Not many flew off unscathed as conditions were great. Had a coyote bark at me most of the morning from 300 yards distant...things one sees when you don't have a v...

New 20 Gauge

The boy and I were out this morning after the crows as it was a school holiday. He finally got a chance to drop a few with his new 20 autoloader. Very calm and birds were easily aware of any movement. 12 year old head bobbing around didn't help much. Photo of my sons first kill with his new shooting iron. Ted...

Shot a Few This Morning
(Preview)
Out 20 miles north of the ranch at daybreak. Cold and windy. Crows were tardy but managed 15 KIA's and missed plenty too. Shots were in tight which is typical of windy conditions. Mangled some real good at 10-15 yards. Hopefully the migration picks up so I can double these numbers soon. Some dead crows f...

10ga and I have been hunting over in nearby Maine off and on since their winter/spring season opened in late January. Action has been slow and spotty in spite of the mild winter and bare ground.

Perhaps the CrowMart could stock some of th...

Evolution of the E-Caller

Bob A. why don't you give us a history lesson on e-callers. A while back you mentioned Bert Popowski shot all his crows before e-callers had come out. You also mentioned every hunter feels they were born too late. I think the best crow hunting came with the use of e-callers. The first e-callers were...
