Long time lurker, first time poster. Trying not to bore you with the regular old 101 type questions, I've done some hunting and spent some time reading here so hopefully I'm ready for the "202" style tactics! I could pound my chest and say I've been calling crows for 16 years but that really...

I've been looking at what I can find on motion decoys and it looks like the buster II is fairly well known to the folks on this forum. What could I expect as far as uninterrupted flapping out of a fresh set of good batteries? Are there any other reasonable alternatives as far as this type of decoy? Any help i...

Today I ordered a new decoy. The Expedite Triple Play. When it shows up next week I'll post a review of what I think and how well it works. Here's a photo if you haven't seen one before; It rotates about 90 degrees, then stops, which causes each separate decoy to wiggle/move back and forth, then rotes aga...

These days, it is quite fashionable to beat up on "The Rich" and you see it everywhere. It's in the news, in politics and in everyday conversations. As one who knows how much these people pump into our economy, I don't buy into it. As a matter of fact, they support my industry (constructio...

Hello, all. Been buying a box of ammo here and there...usually, #6, #7.5 (mostly), and #8....1 1/8 to 1 1/4oz loads...Remington STS, Remington Nitro 27, and the 6's are usually Federal (field loads). My question is selecting an FPS for tree top, passing fliers. What is an effective FPS for crows?...

I have been crow hunting for 3 years now. 2015 - goals - I am going to accomplish this year. 1.) Bring the crows in closer.2.) Learn the art of hand calling. 3.) Hit a new PR of 100 crows in one sitting.4.) Enjoy the time being spent in the field more.5.) spend more time in the field. I read a lot of the pos...

Just wondering: Why don't many shotgunners, it seems to me, shoot 16s? I inherited a couple: one, a Stevens beater with some interesting repairs done by my grandfather, and the other a beautifully engraved Meffert external hammered double 16, with which I've actually popped a few crows. The Meffer...

Exactly five weeks after shooting the high-fence dove field where we shot 128 crows, Pete & I returned to see what we could do. We had planned to shoot yesterday, but the fog spooked us and we reset for today. We set up in a different place and got in the blind early. It was cold and breezy. The 39 de...

Had planned to hunt a dove field tomorrow, but postponed it due to heavy rains. There were crows there before the rain, but what can I expect in a badly soaked sunflower field? Will they avoid a soggy field until it dries out? Demi

Hello, all. I hope all is well. Winter is starting to get to me already...cabin fever. After watching a few videos on YouTube, I think I could really get into crow hunting.

I'm about to purchase a dedicated 12 for crow hunting. I really like the way the Weatherby's SA-08 feel and considering one in a 28" barrel. Any suggestions on gun/barrel length?

Seems like there have been quite a few posts & pictures about piebald crows lately. I always enjoy everyone's reports so figured I'd share a picture of a piebald shot earlier this year. Here is my dad holding a "lightly" piebald crow. I have shot a fair number like this over the years...

This is my first topic, so forgive me if this is in the wrong place. I have recently been looking at Crow decoys, but during that adventure I have found a product called 'Primos Sit'n Spin'.

Gentlemen, I am a Newbie to this forum. I need some ideas of how to cope with the changes that have taken place in Minnesota.

Was asked by a landowner to help him out with his dove field that had been overtaken by crows. The guy I shot with last week made the connection, so the two of us checked it out Wednesday morning. This was another high-fence dove field of 20 acres. It was the nicest high-fence job I've seen, with perfec...
