Son and I got after them a couple of mornings, weather was warm,humid and very little wind. We're hunted good property that in the past produced good shoots.

This Year's First Week
(Preview)
After many nearly sleepless nights, "Crow Week" finally arrived! This is our annual hunting trip with Jerry Tomlin that we have been doing for 9 years and it is more a social event than a crow hunting expedition. We have four hunters in 2-day groups and we go for 8 days... this year we s...

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
(Preview)
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...

Not crows, but foxes tonight (were thieving chickens from the farmers son)
(Preview)
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
(Preview)
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...

Alabama hunt

Had my first hunt of the year yesterday. Was pretty good for a early season hunt. We picked up 89. No pictures sorry. There weren't that many birds down in the area yet. We shot until about 10:00 and called it quits.

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.

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...

How do you get decoys up high?

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...

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?
