Blind Seats
(Preview)
Have been on a quest to find a comfortable folding swivel chair for the blind, I have used folding stools, 5 gal. buckets with the swivel top and they offer little comfort. Think I may have found a swivel folding chair that is going to make the sit a lot more enjoyable. It's called the Black-Out Chair, I or...

Auxiliary Speakers
(Preview)
As our first part of the season here in MI begins in two weeks, I've been thinking for some time about putting two auxiliary speakers on the ol' Spitfire. It has been a fine little machine for three years or so. But I would like more volume, with which to reach out and attract bandits from beyond the Spitfi...

Newbie in southeastern Pennsylvania looking to find folks to hunt with
(Preview)
As the title indicates, I am in southeastern Pennsylvania, and I am looking for some people to hunt with. A guided hunt would be ideal, but I am just generally looking for folks to help me learn. I would be willing to drive two or three hours. I have a gun, camo, and I have just ordered a cold and some decoys....

Crow Callers

Hello! I have recently started to call crows. Are there any crow callers that you guys recommend sound good? I currently have a Knight & Hale Locator Crow KH404A. I have been looking at the Faulks brand. What type of crow caller have you had the best results with? -- Edited by saybia on Satur...

Fish Crow Roost
(Preview)
At the risk of burning you out on the topic of fish crows, I'm posting yet another post on our local roost. My neighbor went out on his boat recently to check the roost. They have moved upriver somewhat this year, but the numbers are still high. Check out the pictures and it will give you an idea of how ma...

Why do people love hunting crows?
(Preview)
Hello there! I see you hate crows! You claim they carry tons of diseases. Humans carry about 138x more diseases than crows have, so how about you go hunt some humans and arrange their bodies to make 48? Also, you say they are bad because they kill little birds. Humans kill billions of birds every year, an...

First flyway
(Preview)
I was on our farm hunting rabbit with my little brother the day before Christmas and I have found a treasure trove!!! In the 30 minutes we where on that part we saw around 200 crow fly along our creek bottom. I have been out there a lot and never seen that many flying the same path so I assume it was a flyway. An...

Pigeon (crow) flappers
(Preview)
Along with the pigeon magnet (whirly) that we often use, these also work brilliantly. Used with a speed control and timer, they can be used on pigeons and crows alike. Ideal flapping speeds are pigeon 200-300 flaps a minute, crows 30-60 flaps a minute. Then on either a timer, or a remote control. Th...

Roost Is Coming Together
(Preview)
After my last report, I had one great flurry of fish crows over my driveway with literally hundreds of crows overhead. Unfortunately, I was alone, the batteries in my call were dying, the birds were high, my shooting was off and I got flustered with the sheer numbers of crows. Only shot 8 or 10, but it w...
