This morning I set up a blind for a small crow hunt planned for Friday AM. Came back to the house to clean up and around noon I was leaving the house for work. I was carrying my FoxPro after changing the batteries in preparation for the hunt. Said, what the heck, I’ll see who is around. Walked to the tru...

Hey guys, just a quick report without any pics. (have one of some corn stalks and decoys, but you've all seen those!) I was fortunate to have an opportunity to shoot with killerky from this forum on the weekend, and what an amazing experience it was. I think I may have overestimated the reach of my MOD...

Went on a crow hunt Friday morning. Should have been an easy 100 bird body count. Nice pecan orchard surrounded by peanut fields. Had two buddies with me. Got everything set up and it looked good. Right from the start the birds would stay high or flare if they came in low. I kept looking for the problem and...

Hey all, Happy to find a place online where other people appreciate crow hunting. I live in southeast Michigan and I'm new to crow hunting (been hunting since the 80s otherwise). I really like the challenge of taking them with my .22 PCP rifle, but I also have a 12 gauge. I'm looking for other hunters in...

Since not much is happening around here this weekend except “shopping” (not me), I thought I’d keep you informed of the important news about the country, at least according to our local “paper of record.”(1.) The Horror--the Horror! People should not be poisoning crows, giving them an inglorious s...

Had a client call me up this am and had a bad last few weeks and wanted to get out shooting. So he was at my place by 3pm and at 330 we were hiding in the rows of standing corn. I've watched the crows hitting this field hard the last week. Standing on the ears and eating the corn. By 5:10 he had 129 crows dead. He us...

Last weekend, after deer hunting in the morning, I decided to go pop a few crows. I chose a small slice of public land, and with a small spread began calling. There were some deer hunters in the area, but at what I thought was a safe distance. I also heard what sounded like someone target shooting, stil...

Dick & I just finished a 9 day hunt, even with half of those days not being good weather for crow hunting we still shot 1,631 crows. All afternoon flyway shoots, no morning hunts at all. On our last afternoon the wind was totally wrong for this spot but we shot it anyway because we were out of state, sti...

I thought I'd share with you guys the latest in my line of discrete carry items. This case safely carries my BPS and that zany but effective Metro Barrel Extension that is part of our field kit. It's 5.5" X 5.5" X 37". Restrictions on the form factor did not allow me to insert the stock...

Hi everyone! I'm new on the forum and I am currently building a setup to call crow and coyotes from an homemade ecaller. I am currently looking for crow MP3 I could edit and put on my phone to play on the field. I do not know if it matters much, but I am from Canada and I do not know if the northern crows share...

Invested two days and have drove just under a thousand miles so far with good results. Thought we had lost one of our better orchards but the previous Owner spoke well for us and We will also get to shoot a orchard the new Owner already owns. Hope we can make a good start with Him and take out a bunch of Crows....

Got out with the boys tonight for a quick hunt. Lasted about an hr or so. Ended up with 78 picked up and another 14 sailed into the field. aim was off so my total was way worse than it should of been. i like the new super snow crow pro caller.

Curious if any of you have used one of these for any type of hunting. Friend has one that he has never used and wants to get rid of it. Wondering if I might find a use for it; not necessarily for crows. Does the sun cause any glare issues? Seems sorta flimsy, any issues in the wind?

jacobhwrd · jacobhwrd

This is my first year crow hunting and even though I haven't broken double digit numbers it has been the second best hunting I have ever enjoyed (opening day of dove will always be my #1). I am wanting to know if you all have any advise that will help with the learning curve. I have a foxpro that is working bu...

Well, I haven't been able to get out yet for crows this season. However, I did get to Saskatoon Canada for a week long waterfowl hunting trip in October. The outfitter compiled a 10 min video of our week. I wanted to ask before posting if it would be OK to post link (Youtube). I'll post if there's positive r...

I apologize in advance for the shakiness, this time, the camera was mounted on my head, instead of on the gun, so there is alot more motion as I scan for targets.

The migration through south eastern NH appears to be finished, at least for the big groups going through. Yesterday morning 10ga and I took a stand and we killed a few over a couple of hours.

I rarely get to go shoot by myself. My new buddy Butch hooked me up with what was going to be a new location and I set up a hunt for Sunday morning.

Thought this only applied to Deer hunters here in Alabama, not Crow hunters but I was wrong.

Here in my part of Pa (north east corner), we usually see the migrators here either last week, or this week. But so far, they are a no show. Has anyone North of us seen a later migration this year?

I know this is not crow related, but as a proud dad I had to share it here. My son is also the reason I got into making crow calls. At around 2 years old he got my one good crow call and chewed up the mouth piece. After buying a number of calls that I didn't like I decided to try and make my own. That was many calls ag...
