I have avoided them in the past but I might just have to get out this weekend and try to hammer some crows. Am I pushing a losing hunt?

Expectations
(Preview)
Last weekend we had high hopes of having a couple stellar days, potential was there and for the area we had a low kill total. This A:M we shot a small orchard (20 trees) and I felt if we could knock 50 down it would be exceptional, just goes to show that you never know with these bandits. We picked up 121 and...

Someone here in Ky is hosting a wild game dinner and asked me if could get them as much crow meat as possible for it. I was happy to help but I will be collecting as much as I can until early January. How do I store the breasts to keep from getting freezer burn? Or is that even an issue with only a couple months t...

It never saw it coming..........
(Preview)
Shot a crow today with a large tumor growing on the right side of it's head. I suspect they are easier to shoot if they are half blind. On a serious note I have picked up a lot of dead crows and have never seen this before.[URL=http://s269.photobucket.com/user/nhshotgunner/media/1028151057_res...

Mainehunt?
(Preview)
Where did you go? Last year during the winter/spring season you were shooting crows from a snow fort, which I thought was very clever. This winter was even worse so I am wondering if you moved, didn't have time or found the conditions to tough to get out. I hope all is well.

Good A:M hunt

Son and I had a good morning, cool and windy conditions. Set up to take advantage of the wind but crows used it to their advantage, made for some quick and sporty shooting. Have to admit we shot well, Son had a nice fast triple and several doubles. I had a Dutch double but in the heat of shooting I pulled the t...

Waterfowl haters
(Preview)
I was looking for advise on decoy bags the other day and I figured since these things are designed and used by waterfowlers that they would have plenty of experience with these and know what's good and what's not. Wow was I ever amazed at how quickly it turned into them trying to belittle our sport. But fe...

So, set up tonight at just gone 22:00 as a fox due at 23:30 and then some more. Was planning to sit till 00:00-00:30 max, but in the end decided to sit till 02:00 and see what extra I could get. Was scanning every 2-3 minutes, but was difficult, as the ground was very damp, so mist rising and fogging the sco...

Crow Hunting, A 5 Year Old, And A Pink Gun

I have a property about an hour away that will hold a few birds on occasion. The conditions have to be right and since it is an hour away it can be hard to keep scouted. I had a bit of time recently so I took a scouting trip and saw what I thought would be a huntable amount of birds. I broke a brake line on the tr...

To many decoys?

Is there an actual number of decoys when your getting to the point that it's just to many? I don't mean a number like 3000 but what do you all think is to many in a feeding spread?
