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.

Extendable Blind Poles
(Preview)
I am looking for a new way to set up my blinds. I have tried a few different things. 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 I Took Today: Crow VS Rabbit
(Preview)
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. I pulled into this parking lot to make a call and do a few moments of paperwork only to find a black bandit doing its thing. Nature is a cruel beast. ...

1 oz. # 7 1/2 at 1300 fps

Shot a bunch again yesterday morning, bit of sun as we have had weeks of rain wind and gloom. Used my favourite load of one ounce shot at 1300 fps. 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
(Preview)
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. Today there were more birds in the area and for the most part they came on as singles, some low, some high and m...

Sorry guys, this might be high fashion somewhere, but its simply too bizarre not to share.On second thought, maybe, just maybe, such outfits might be good gifts for Crowbusters’ wives or girlfriends, especially as bribery if you've been on too many hunts. Perhaps the CrowMart could stock some of th...

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...
