Solo hunt
(Preview)
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. I stayed up and watch the Bama/LSU game until about midnight and got up at 3:00 AM to go to the pecan orchard. I get there and recognize it instantly. I shot it about 1...

Any Ontario Crow hunters on here?

Hey guys~I'm totally new to crow hunting, save for a few I've blasted with the .223 while groundhog hunting up here. (terrific results with ballistic tip 55gr. hand-loads) This fall, I'm prepped with good camo, decoys, and am ordering a couple of hand calls today. I've even been shooting allot of...

Disrespectful Hunters !
(Preview)
Thought this only applied to Deer hunters here in Alabama, not Crow hunters but I was wrong. Set up this A.M. on a orchard things started slow and crows were call shy, suspected a local had been after them to much. After we had killed maybe 15 started hearing shots in the distance where other smaller grov...

Migration ??

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?

Son gets his first deer.
(Preview)
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...

Cost of handloads?
(Preview)
I don't think anybody's asked this question this year, so here goes. Given that the cost per 100 of 12 ga. "everyday loads", "trap and field" etc. in 7 1/2s are now going for about $28-$29 + tax ($.06 in MI) at Wal-Mart (Federal, Winchester), is anyone out there finding it less exp...

Starting to get a little push of birds
(Preview)
We have turned the page of the calendar to October and with October comes migrating crows. We traveled about an hour north today to find most of the corn still standing. The grass field in front of our blind was nice and low. Not much color in the trees. A front moved off to the northeast early in the mo...

Finicky crows
(Preview)
Finicky crows.........or, I ain't gonna eat this slop, even if I am a crow! Other day I threw out some slightly molded white loaf bread to the crows, that haunt a vacant lot beside my house. The crows snubbed it , as if they were on a health kick! Usually, I toss them a slice of whole wheat bread, and they qui...

Source for good value Mil-Spec camouflage netting

I am working on a design for a PVC-framed portable blind for which I will need some OK-to-good-quality camouflage netting. There's a lot of junk out there on Amazon and E-Bay and I am wondering if any of you have found a reliable source that you're pleased with. I am looking for the real thing: netting wi...

Ambush X 2
(Preview)
Ambush: "a concealed place where enemies lie in wait to attack by surprise" according to Webster. As a run & gunner I would admit "ambush" is sort of my mindset once I set up in the woods, concealed, lying in wait for crows to respond to my sounds. This was certainly my plan las...

Streaks
(Preview)
I am sure Bob will have the best streaks but I am interested to see how everyone does. I once killed 19 in a row (19 in 19 shots). It was midday and they all came in one at a time slow and low. My best "Gun Full" of ammo streak was 4 out of 5 shots. The 4th bird in the murder made a move on me right as I hit th...

End of the Crows for me...
(Preview)
I was out with my boy this weekend chasing some ruffed grouse in the bush as crows for the most part have left south into the Mid West for the winter. We managed to shoot some ruffed grouse but in our travels blundered upon a small group of tardy crows feeding out in a harvested bean field. Luckily still had...

They did and a lot fell into place, crows wanted to be where we were, responded to the calls and decoys well and blinds were good. The temps were cool which was a blessing. This o...

Late last year my buddy and I discovered a small flyway and roost. Normally we run and gun but a flyway shoot sounds like a blast. My questions is. What is the best way to determine the route the crows will use on the return to the roost?? Will they come back the same way they left in the morning exodus ?? If an...

Trees are tall and mature, did not have any choice but to set up in very open area. Started off light fog and then clear and hot. Crows came in and we could not hit the s...
