Yesterday afternoon, a hunter friend from church whose home is on 40 acres nearby let me cut white pine boughs for my blind so I could make one just like my SW MI Cro...

Biohazard Piebald
(Preview)
BioHazard Alert Caution: This post may be harmful to your health. If you hunt crows, odds are that you have seen or shot a bird with crap on its back. They roost together in trees. I guess it is the price they pay for safety. These birds, however, are particularly "crappy." Enjoy my crapp...

Favorite Hunt Of The Year Thus Far
(Preview)
Greetings fellas, The MI crow season is on. I figured I'd share a recent hunt. It was one I barely got out of bed for, thankfully, I stopped hitting the snooze button. I had scouted this area for some time. I never really saw a massive amount of crows in the area, but every time I scouted it before 2pm th...

We Got Trumped...Literally!
(Preview)
My buddy and I went out this morning...with great expectations, to a field in Walterboro, SC where we hunted last year. The field is a high-end dove field that is perfect. It is situated near a county landfill and a horse facility so there is a never ending supply of the black bandits. The owner repor...

Anyone ever felt Like you had Target Panic?
(Preview)
Today felt really weird, It was really windy. 25 with 45 MPH gusts. I was in the timber which helped slightly. Had a decent shoot to put 30 on the ground, but there were a lot of shots that I felt hesitant and thought I should make. They would set into the wind and they were almost motionless it seemed and I wh...

Coyotes Ate My Piebald

Hello fellas, A nice batch of warm air has pushed thru Michigan and melted most of the snow. Things are soggy to say the least....(the ground, not my britches). Anyway, I shot a decent piebald. A pic is below. I thought for a moment about putting the bird on the wall. I passed on the idea and fed him to...

Dove Field Fun
(Preview)
Last year I hunted crows in several local dove fields in order to run them out so the owners could hunt more doves. One on nearby Wadmalaw Island (old Indian name meaning "loaded with crows") was a great one, hunting with the owner's son. Last January we got 112 crows and had a blast. Last W...

Bert Popowski

As many of you know Bert was an outdoor writer and author of over 10 books on hunting varmints during the 1940's through the very early 1970's before he passed away. I spoke with him over the phone quite a bit from 1974 to around 1976. I invited him to come down here from South Dakota but his health would not...

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?

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!!

Was hoping to get some advice from the forum. I started shotgun shooting about a year ago, I purchased a fix choked gun in size full and half. 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.

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?

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...

Got out for the first crow hunt of the winter this week with my friend Dave. Had high hopes for this one because scouting the day before I saw well over 500 crows hitting this area near a landfill sight. I got permission on a corn field between the landfill and where they flew in from the roost and figured it...
