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. The point is that crow hunting can be a part of a fun package when done in conju...

Evening all, To introduce myself I have been an avid crow hunter for the past 5 seasons. I have learned many things from my mentor who introduced me to this great sport. My mentor has been hunting crow since he was about 7 years old, he would get paid a nickel for every crow he brought to his uncle who owned a...

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...

Temp at sunrise 75 an was 93 at 10 a:m when we stopped. Crows cooperated and we picked up 91. This was the first crow shoot for a old friend of mine and I think he will go again. He had a gun malfunction early and cost him a few birds but he got my spare and shot well. He and I have enjoyed some great deer hunting t...

Currently using a Primos Alpha Dogg, this will be my third season using it and have had decent success with it. It's borrowed from someone who never used it and they told me to keep the call as long as I wanted, but in the end it's still not mine so the day may come when I have to give it back or if anything happe...

Went out solo this a:m an shot a new property for the first time, didn't have a lot of confidence because of the drought conditions that has left me scratching my head after having some tough hunts and after Elkhunter had the tough hunt it was looking bad.

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.

I've been waiting for someone to bring it up?? Not much interest lately. I have been following closely the candidates.

We were ready to re-try a dove field where we were "Trumped" on our last visit due to a Donald Trump rally across the street. The rally scared off all the crows, but it has been resting ever since.

Hey all! I'm fairly new to crow hunting. I have a question (many actually...) but concerning locating a blind. When hunting a field is it ok to place your blind on the edge in the treeline? or is it better to get out into the field as I have seen boba do in some of his posts? I am worried the crows may hang...

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...

went out this morning for about three hours. Well long story short I got skunked so bad. I saw 3 or 4 singles that seemed to be flying about 100 feet in the air.

I would like some info from you more experienced guys. Is it practical to keep the call in your mouth and keep calling even as working the gun? That would seem ideal if possible. I haven't tried this yet, but I am sure I have been ceasing to call way too soon. So I intend to correct that. I'm trying to unders...

I really don't like to get up early unless I have to so here are some photos from when I hunt by myself. If I am in the mood I stay out until mid night and sack in the next morning. I get up have some breakfast at the local café and head out to the boon docks by 11:00 a.m. to line up an afternoon shoot.
