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...

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...

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...

My buddy Brian and I went to a new farm in central Alabama Saturday morning. Big peanut fields and the farmers promised 10,000 crows. LOL Well, not sure about that total but we had a great shoot picking up 182. I put the crows in stacks of 10 and the picture shows 174. We were setup in a small china berry tr...

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...

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...

My first season as a retiree and still no birds? Scouting a week prior to season looked promising. Birds establishing as usual in usual spot. Opening day had a decent shoot, and 2 days after that another one. 118 in 2 short shoots. Duck season opened and some duck hunters shot my roost. Haven't had any bi...

Some time ago I had visited Darrell Gibson at his work shop and watched him make a call.. what an experience..

I met with Darrell to have a look...

Went out yesterday morning and shot 103 crows up until 9:30 a.m. then went back to the house and continued cleaning up the yard from the ice storm. Took a break and went out in the afternoon and shot 59 from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. so 162 were shot for the day, very nice out for December, 50 degrees out with a so...

Son's friend from Wyoming was in town for Holiday and wanted to give these crows down here a go, so we did. Hit a spot on the rotation that has been good but we have a local that has been harassing the crows (found out more today) he hasn't shot this spot but is only a mile or so away. Anyway he has hurt the spot a...

Nope, don't mean from Summer to Fall: from Fall Turkey to Gun Deer season in MI. What a difference 12 hours makes. The day before, it was turkey season--nothing seen for the last 4-5 mornings out, in historically good areas, with a few bucks and does passing through. 12 hours later, no deer seen (well, o...

Left out at 1:30am got home at 5:30 in between we had a blast. Bama was a nice 32 degrees this morning, just right for a crow hunt. And they got the memo, had a friend with us which made 3 shooters. Hunting with 3 can be tough on the set up in order for everyone to get good shooting. We unoficially killed over 2...
