Walker Ear Muffs
(Preview)
I bought a pair of Walker Alpha 360 electronic ear muffs about 2 years ago. Suppose to be the best thing since Reno sin. Bull. I started to use them last Sunday to shoot some 5-stand clay birds, and one of the volume knobs just fell out of the ear muff. I called Walker about repairing it, and the guy I spoke wi...

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.

Evolution of the E-Caller
(Preview)
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...

Just an average shoot here, except there should have been more TBC. But, for me, that’s also “average.” Another berry field; another new property (Yes!). The birds aren’t totally educated, but it doesn’t take long for the murder to understand what was going on. I wish I had had a partner with me toda...

I'm looking to purchase an electronic caller and am currently leaning towards the ICOtec GC500. I've seen them on sale recently for $140 which seems like a deal that is hard to pass up. My only question is, what and where are the best crow sounds to get to use for this call. ICOtec has a sound library, b...
