Could not resist Opening Spring Turkey Day here. Problem: conditions were almost absolutely contrary to turkey hunting lore and of course, common sense. However, those meaningless items did not affect me and a truly fine outdoorsman pal from church. He and I set up on favorite hot spots about ½ mile...

10ga and I got again this morning, weather was overcast with almost no wind. We saw our first ball of 100 or so crows today so they have started to move into our area. We had a couple of high birds come in and circle overhead, we saw some white on the wings so we figured we had nothing to lose. 10ga shot firs...

Went out for crow with the Master Saturday morning. Took a bit of C4 to get an 11 year old out of bed at zero dark thirty but the effort was well worth watching my son knock crows from the sky with his 410. Morning started "bluebird" clear and frosty. Had good numbers of crows entering the kill zo...

Finally after 10 years of my wife just going to the range and just shooting at targets with her pistol, I got to watch my son teach her how to defend herself in actual scenario's (drawing from purse and shooting and other concealed carry options). We've been married 35 yrs and it took 25yrs to convince h...

Not enough crows up here yet to warrant a shotgun hunt but had a bit of fun sniping some early migrants yesterday. Set up my caller at the base of a big old oak and let it do it's magic. Sunrise brought a few visitors which circled and kicked up a fuss. A few would land up top the oak and look down to find the sour...

Out again at first light, cold crisp and frosty. Shot from an opening at the edge of a willow slough. Steady shooting from 07:00 up to 08:30,, stragglers after that but enough to keep my interest. Finished off with 39 good crows and several possibles. Shot some nice doubles and a triple all with a pump gu...

Out again this morning at first light, 20 or so minutes north of headquarters. Slow start but the task at hand got going... and by 08:05 I had 17 bandits down. Missed a few, all killed with 12 gauge, 1 oz # 7 1/2 shot I/C. Knocked a few more down by 09:00 and was home making a coffee by 10:00. Finished with abou...

...so I thought I'd take it upon myself to post some dead crows. Getting out regularly mornings only and getting a bit of shooting. No big numbers as this is not characteristic of spring shooting here but enough to remedy the cabin fever from this past winter. Pics of my blind at sunrise, first crow of th...

Some kids were trying out their snowmobiles near town and scared up these guys near their roost. There were about that many already in the trees around sundown time. New to hunting crows and trying to find their flyway zones. Was just impressed by their numbers and thought I would share.

This morning, I drove a whole one mile outside of the city limits to see if I could work off some frustration on our “townies,” who fly about our small town making their racket with impunity inside the city limits where shooting is illegal.

Up at zero dark thirty yesterday morning. Drove a short distance north of my home and set up a simple blind. Deeks, caller and I all in place at sunrise.

Turns out that this was to be my last outing for the FEB-MAR MI season, so I went to a couple of favorite spots to see if I could whack a couple of “townies.” A bit cool this a.m., at 9 Deg. F, but had an extra layer on so not too bad with almost zero wind. First setup was just outside the City Limits (again, behin...

I had a very decent season. I did not hunt until after Veterans Day. I ended up with a total of 718 birds on the ground. Heavy snow cover and temps in the teens depleted the numbers toward the end.

This morning, I went to a place I've been several times over the past three years. A blueberry field on which the road was finally snow free and safe to drive on without becoming mired. As expected, the birds were their usual educated selves. All that is, except for a pair that by coincidence crash-land...

Skeetshooter had to leave early and my phone died. We had a g...
