First Crow Killing
(Preview)
Solo hunter and first time crow killer. What a blast (pun intended). First attempt at crow hunting this morning, first attempt at any bird hunting honestly. I was using a Flextone Vengeance e-caller and some Classic decoys. The e-caller worked some magic. The crows were flying in from everywhere an...

So how is your season going, good bad or ugly?
(Preview)
I was curious as to how everybody was doing on crows this season? Is this an average, above average or below average year for you guys? Bob at the Texas Crow Patrol says his season has been less than stellar. This is why he has not posted, just nothing to post about. How about Skip, NH, 10 gauge, Low & sl...

Advice needed!!

I was advised that this was the best size for crow/pigeon and rabbit shooting. Now I am very much more experienced in rifle shooting and after the year of using my ne...

Outstanding photos of various crow hunts.
(Preview)
The first photo was taken in Stafford County Kansas (1983) left to right, Sam Salem, Bob Aronsohn and Boyd Robeson. Boyd was my crow hunting mentor back in those days. Boyd was 56 years old and I was 35 in 1983. The next photo is now a parking lot, it was taken in February of 1975.

Favorite combos? Been a while.
(Preview)
Probably been done but it's been a long time since I have been on the site. Work has been so brutal I never had time to hunt for the past couple of years. I found a new job, life is short and I never remember hearing anyone on their death bed say, you know I wish I had spent more time at work.
I did a little scout...

Several times hunters have recently commented that their particular shell "patterns real well". I can't help but wonder if any of the commentators have actually shot patterns on paper, figured the percentage, and examined the pattern for uniformity and distribution. Or, naively ass...

Always use the same shell?
(Preview)
do you all always buy the same shells or just whatever is on sale? I usually buy what's on sale within reason as long as it's 8 or 7 1/2 shot. I havent really been able to notice much of a difference until I bought some of the cheap Walmart ones (suprema brand). I was missing shots that I would have never done a...
