So, bought a new mouth call of an English maker (MPK calls/ Matt Kirk) who does all sorts of calls, but this is his first foray into crow calls) very good call indeed, tuned to the English carrion crow, and gives a nice raspy sound, not as deep as the Nordik Crow Call, but still a lot deeper than the America...

Hi, I am looking for some advise, Which call would you recommend for crow and coyote hunting. Thanks

Well gentlemen I am told that those "cheap" Wal_mart winchester loads have a tendency to expand on the rim or what ever and get stuck in the chamber. I had trouble cycling these loads in my 11-87 last year. Glad to know it's not my gun in any case. But what about you folks here? Any ideas? I kn...

As the title says, the crows up here are starting to group together. I drove a short distance this even to scout and try to predict the annual pattern. Later set up at the edge of a small wood lot, caller placed as according to wind direction with a nice 20 yard opening as a killing zone. Only shot 7 crows whi...

So, that was a balls ache of a day :( Got up at 02:45, fed and walked the dogs, then at 04:00 headed off to the field as it wasn't raining (as forecast). However, get the gate to the field open, and the trailer doors open, and the heavens opened, so closed everything again and went back home. At 05:00 decid...

Beretta A400 users TIP · Redditch

Right, another tip for all Beretta A400 owners. As the gun gets older (many thousands of shots later), you will notice that when ****ing the bolt back, it sometimes seems to "grab" just as the shell carrier plate comes up, This ISN'T caused by the shell carrier plate, but is the spring reta...

So, was up at 03:13, set up on the field by 05:00 ready for the first flight of corvids at 05:30 :) Set up with 8 full bodied on poles, and a rotary with two winged decoys on that. Also had my to flappers ready for the first shot birds to go on. I had a choice of two fields of wheat, or a field of barley, so decid...

So, a big problem with Decoying standing crops, is the fact that the birds can't see your decoys until they are almost on top of them. As a cure for this, I bought 4x 2.10 metre plastic covered metal tube carden canes from b&q (hardware/gardening store) and cut these in half, giving me 8x 1.05 metre...

So, other day I had a call off the farmer, corvids were on his barley field across the river. So I get to the fording place and think, "ohh, that doesn't look deep" and I'd crowd it many times before, so in I went in 4wd. Got about 1/3 the way across and the water was up to the front edge of the bonne...

Hahahaha, bet not many people get a shot count like that. Crows were on that back field again, that is too far away to shoot at, and in a place I can't get at. BUT, they were resting in between feeding in the middle of the grass field on the opposite side of the road, and about 60 metres in. I thought "I m...

About 6 weeks ago, my wife and I were in California on vacation. We traveled thru Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, and were struck with their great beauty and natural wonder!

So, after my favourite one man pop up hide broke (after 4-5 months of almost daily use) it has been consigned to the attic in bits for the last two years, so as they are no longer available in this exact design, I decided to see if I could repair/improve it. i decided I wasn't going to use the original design...

So, farmer asked me to have a look at his field when there was good weather, as a small area had been flattened and the corvids and pigeons were feasting (in his words " not a lot of traffic, but best to move them on before they get settled" ) So this morning got up at 03:30 and was set up by 04:30 wit...

The CORRECT way to blow a crow call (whether it be American made, or European made) to get that deeper grunt for European corvids Place the call in your mouth at a 33-45 degree angle pointing UPWARDS. (You can clamp the mouthpiece harder or softer in your teeth to alter the pitch more) Do NOT blow usin...

1. Invest in yourself: Take the time to practice with your shotgun so you make the most of the chances you get in the field. Learn how to approach people so you can get permission to hunt on there land. 2. Be patient: It all takes time and sometimes we may look like a fool but the important thing to remember i...
