To many decoys?
(Preview)
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?

Turkey with Blueberries.
(Preview)
Well, it’s not the season for…crows anyway. This is Fall Season turkey #2, a hen, taken this a.m. at 0854 on a nice sunny morning (photo 1, sunrise--0745). Mr. Crow was up at the usual time to begin his day of mischief but the turkeys rise later, so it was coffee time and make “little clucking noises” tim...

A Good Friday a:m hunt

For us that is. Hunted a new property today with mixed feelings of how we would do, plus I missed a turn and put us late in the blind. Started at 6:58 according to my amazing flip phone from an elite franchise ( now y'all might understand a bit more of how old school I am with technology). Great a:m cloudy, N w...

How do you get decoys up high?
(Preview)
As the title says I am always looking for ways to improve my hunting. I now use two decoys as a sentry since I kept seeing a crow would land close to the one I hung up (I guess splitting the duties). I use 50 feet of 550 cord tied to an 8 ounce mushroom duck decoy anchor. It works really well but it took some getti...

Bluetooth Speakers

what's your favorite decoy?
(Preview)
so what's your favorite decoy and why? I am using all GHG ffd at the moment but I am in the search for something a little bit smaller so its easier to carry more deeper into new areas to try. I don't know if you all use them but they are large but the quality is unbeatable. What would you all recommend?

Bob A sound pack for foxpro
(Preview)
I was wondering if this sound pack was of Bob doing the calling himself. I was just over at the foxpro site looking at some calls to add to my crossfire and noticed this package. If anyone knows please let me know. Or if Bob reads this himself i guess he would know better then anyone.

While leaving for work this morning I heard crows in the nearby pecan trees. I've been seeing the first of some fish crows migrating into the area lately, and these were some of those new birds. The fix was simple...pick up my Beretta, shells and earplugs. Walk to the truck where my FoxPro was and turn...

What a difference a nice day makes. Fall turkey opening day yesterday (15 SEP) in MI was a beautiful, perfect day (photo 1). Sunny, 60 deg. at sunrise, situated on a “known” turkey highway. What could go wrong--except no turkeys? I saw deer (too far to photo), crows were making their usual racket (even...

Set up this morning at a friend’s development of home sites which includes a nice man-made lake (Google Earth shot). Been here every crow season at one point or another. It’s an easy set up (yellow star), as a blind isn’t needed due to the nice clump of pines and bushes that provide pretty good cover (sha...
