What a difference a week makes!
(Preview)
Last Friday, 8 days ago: 11 degrees and lots of snow (See the “5.11” hunt report). Today 53 and no snow with a 70 deg. day in-between. Spring is here! Anyhow, another blueberry field, one of six new blueberry properties on which I only this week received permission to hunt. Wow! Most are at least a couple...

E-caller questions... Considering ICOtec
(

)
(Preview)
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...

No photos unfortunately.

Nice crow hunting video

10gacrowshooter shared this with me. It's a nice video of a sport we all enjoy. Professionally done and they were having a great time. The old crow hunter was least 80 when this was made, when I Googled his name it looks like he passed away last September at age 83. Seems like he would have been a great...

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...

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...

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...

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.
