Grandson and I left home at 1a:m drove 4 hrs and set up on a good spot, only the crows had moved. We picked up 15 and still had a great time together. 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

We have some good weather moving thru right now... Negative temps, high winds, and some snow. Thankfully its not a ton of snow. OA, did you hunt today? Ive been outside for a total of about 30-40 minutes today. Here is a pic of MI right now...I just missed the sun going behind the dark cloud.

Icy road conditions almost stopped us from going, but caught a break and headed South 4 hrs to some warmer temps, 45 at daylight and warmed to 65 by 10 a:m which is a big contrast to what it has been here. Sorry guys up North I know y'all have had it rough with all the cold and snow. Anyway had a sporty shoot, wi...

So foxbang is a very useful tool on the callers that have it. Havent done a lot of crow hunting, but the recent purchase of a foxpro hellfire has increased my TBC. 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...

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 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.

As I near the finish line of 58 years on the planet I feel like Rip Van Winkel only I have not been asleep.

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...

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...

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...

Heya Fellas After watching some vids, Im confused which way to go... double barrels or single shot AR .17 HMR Not trying to start a debate but have used a .22 in the past shooting rabbits and feral cats which I would also like to do again one day but immediately need to get into CrowBusting. So far the doub...

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

Lest someone thinks this is about shooting supports/gun rests, I'm reporting about the British usage of this term.

Hello All, I thought I would share a picture of myself and Dick. In the background you'll notice a few thousand crows that we hunted the next day. The wind was right and we shot 946 in 4 hours. I got blood and chew splatter on my favorite tshirt during the hunt. I was pissed. Keep kill'n, Bob

I bought an A5 off of gunbroker to be my dedicated crow gun. Just wanted a beater but I got a decent deal on a 1987 Jap Magnum with a 28" invector barrel. I was going to have the whole gun dipped but decided the bluing was in too good of shape to dip it. So I decided to buy the adhesive gunskin kit in blac...
