gearly65 sent me an updated photo of his brown crow trophy. His mount was completed recently. He allowed me to post a picture here. I'll bet he will check in soon to make comments and answer any questions the crowbuster community might have. Some of you may remember when he shot the bird, I posted so...

I have been crow hunting for a few years now. Started out with a theoben eliminator (beeman crow magnum) which was good sport however i now use a Benelli Montefeltro 12g. Northern Ireland is a small country so I dont have access to much land unlike you guys in in the US. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello an...

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...

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...

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.

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?

So, the variation on my FAC finally came back today with the new gun on it, so went straight down the Gunshop and picked it up :) a Laporte Pro II, o/u, 12ga, single selective trigger, adjustable comb stock, and ejector, plus FULLY MODERATED :) unfortunately no one seems to stock subsonic cartridges...

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...

Grandson and I got after them this a:m on an orchard, owner wanted us to try it early and help get rid of some locals that were doing damage, wanted to wait a couple weeks but also I wanted to give it a try. These birds are messed with some and will test you even at the optimum time to hunt. Weather was light dri...

I see the crow season in KS runs from Nov through early March. Do you ever go after them in the winter/spring seasons? NH opens tomorrow and then shuts down on 3/31.

Waterfowl season is in full swing here so I don't spend much time chasing crows but occasionally one of them makes the mistake of getting too close! https://youtu.be/oFVsTjH5E0s

Butch · Butch

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...

Is it just me or is the afternoon much harder to hunt then the morning? I have tried a couple of times to hit the afternoons but can't really seem to get anything to come in other maybe 2 or 3. What do you all look for in an evening hunt? Will you hubt the same places that are good in the morning? Or will they not g...

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...

Seeing more & more of those impressive portable/rechargeable self-contained speaker sets that have great sound, it got me thinking. Do any of you use that equipment for calling crows? Advantages? Disadvantages?

jacobhwrd · jacobhwrd

It's that time of year And the pumpkins here are starting to be picked. Have any of you ever hunted over a pumpkin patch? I am assuming they should be good but have no clue.

jacobhwrd · jacobhwrd

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?

This being the final weekend of our MI season, I was enthused today over trying out a new location. The owner, a blueberry farmer with many properties, took me on the tour for turkey and crow a week ago. I’ll check the turkeys out later, as we have until 14 NOV for them; I already shot one turkey this fall se...

Wow, finally. After taking ONE single day to get from Malaysia to the UK, my new SJ4000 action camera, promptly disappeared into the UK postal system (despite being tracked air mail ). No sign of it.

Crows are gathering here in ever increasing numbers. Not shooting any big numbers yet but enough to make things interesting.

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.

The search has continues for a good motion crow decoy. I was town between the mojo and buster decoys. Mojo has really good quality and battery life but it's a spinner and buster is great but I keep hearing it will eat batteries like there is no tomorrow (3 hours max on a fresh set). Yesterday I was going thr...

Later intercepted roost bound birds and had a good shoot. Sun was setting, ammo low and wind dropped to nothing. Decided...

Either feast or almost famine, scouted a new spot yesterday and was excited to see a couple hundred birds working the area while I was there. Set up this am and they left, scratched out 22 hard earned birds. I'm determine to figure out how to stay on good shooting this time of year. Friday was a bit cooler a...

Was going hunting with my brothers Sunday morning and decided to go for crow instead. Turned out to be the right choice since I got 12 and my older brother brought my nephew who is 3 over to watch. Should have been at least 20 but my shooting was off at the start. Best part was is asked my nephew what he though...
