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. How did we go from this (my Commander in Chief when I was in the military) to where we are today.

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. I wanted to not hijack Butch’s thread (“Blind Seats”) so I began this related one: the use of a peculiarly British piece of equipment known as a “Shooting Stick.” Mine came from Pakista...

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...

Hi Everyone, Some of my common/annoying problems is keeping my decoys clean and not have a conferable pair of hunting gloves for shooting.

One of the local dove field owners asked me to help with his crow problem. As you may have seen on an earlier post, there were hundreds of crows coming in to this field and eating all of his corn & soybeans. Most of the crows were fish crows, but there was a healthy population of common crows to make th...
