Reloading
(Preview)
Never thought I would be happy paying $38 a bag for shot but after paying $50 for the last year this is a change in the right direction. Picked up 20 bags and found primers and wads at a good price, already was stocked on powder so crows won't cost as much next year. Well I had better say pulling the trigger wo...

Two smiley faces
(Preview)
IF you look carefully where my barrel is aiming you will find "Leroy" my pet crow decoy. Leroy is a crow feather covered piece of plastic and he is very real looking. I really think he deceives real crows better than any other decoy I have ever used for whatever that is worth. He has a wire on eac...

Hand caller adjustment
(Preview)
I've been practicing with my hand callers lately, since we are almost entirely snowed in, in terms of access to regular hunting setup locations (Big Honkers will second that). Being a newb with these (photo 1), I only have two good wood models, the Faulk 50 and the Gibson Short Magnum. I like what I'm he...

Got to spend 8 hrs talking to him and listening to him while driving, 17 yrs goes by to quick. Got to watch him talk to the landowners and was well pleased to see the...

Hunting Crows With A Dog
(Preview)
On Saturday morning a friend and I went out to a peanut field that we had hunted last October (shot 110 then). This time we set up at another spot in the same field and when we met at 6:30, he had his German Shorthair with him. I've hunted with dogs before and had mixed results. This dog was quite active, b...

Bobs sounds get it done...
(Preview)
Well i downloaded the sounds last night and went this morning and pulled 17 off of one set. I was happy as so far the best we have been able to pull on one set is 12. We run and gun hunt here because the major flyways the big guys shoot arent evident here. But hey we still have fun. These sounds acted as a good cha...

Cracked the Code?
(Preview)
Hi Fellow Crow Busters, Is it just me or does it appear the Skip has taken crow hunting to the next level - like a newly minted PHD in a kindergarten class of dunces? This crow shooting machine goes out and with little apparent scouting or effort, hides in a tree line and clobbers north of 100 birds! And he...

Subspecies of the common crow?
(Preview)
Years ago around 1998 I spent a few hours in Idaho. Turns out a smallish roost was close by so i got to watch some upset crows fighting some medium sized falcon I took to be a "pigeon hawk" but it could have been some other whatever pigeon sized falcon in the north west? In Any case these crows...

The foxbang was set to switch to dying crow at the report of a gun. well i updated my call with some new sounds and in turn changed my 065 call which...

First Time This Year
(Preview)
Going crow hunting for my first outing of the year. My best employee got me interested last year after a 10year hiatus. We went on a couple moderately successful outings last year. Now it's late in the season, all the birds will be cautious, but we're going to give em a try nonetheless. We'll be using...

Just got off the phone with Dick
(Preview)
Just called my partner, he is still hunting, he shot 172 crows this afternoon on a flyway shoot, 10 degrees out! The reason I quit at the end of January is because there is not enough shooting for two guys.

How did we go from there to here.........
(Preview)
As I near the finish line of 58 years on the planet I feel like Rip Van Winkel only I have not been asleep. How did we go from this (my Commander in Chief when I was in the military) to where we are today. Take the time to watch both clips and contrast what you hear from each, a theme each repeats over and over....

Old school calls.

Hello, all! I hope all is well. Well, after buying a couple of crow calls for CrowMart...I definitely become spoiled and appreciate a good custom call (Gibson, Jack Mincey). Personally, the looks, feel, and sound trumps any plastic one. My question...is there a difference between buying a new prod...

Not Always A Home Run

Just so you know, this sport is still hunting and not shooting. Crows are fickle and can fool the best of us! Recently we set up in another dove field that looked very promising. It was a cold morning and after an hour, the wind started kicking up. The blind was blowing and the occupants were being chi...

Crow Call Sounds on mp3

I haven't been around long enough to know but I'm sure this topic is like beating a dead horse. I am buying Bobs CD to use for calling but was wondering if any of you guys have any calls you use regularly in mp3 that you'd maybe, possibly want to share with a newcomer ;) I was also looking for some JS sounds to p...

Winter roost
(Preview)
Hello, all. I live near Utica, New York. Every year we seem to get a pretty good sized winter roost that causes a stir with the city. My job this weekend is to scout along the Mohawk River outside the city limits. How far from a roost will crows travel to feed? How long does a winter roost last? Steve
