My crow hunting buddy Brian and I hunted yesterday morning. We went to a big pecan orchard surrounded by crop fields. This year the farmer planted peanuts. The farmer started rolling them up a couple of weeks ago but had to stop until we get some rain. The ground was like concrete. Yesterday's weathe...

Been trying to respond to a farmer's request to come shoot the crows in his corn field. Rain has cancelled 3 previous attempts but I got out this morning! Farmer called 3 weeks ago, said he had about 30-40 crows using his field. That number is certainly sufficient to get me up in the morning but this morni...

The Thread of the last day or so, "Alabama," (Butch, CP, ElkHunter) caused me to remember a question about FoxPro callers: I have 19 crow calls loaded on my FoxPro Spitfire, including Bob's package and am wondering if there are other E-calls out there that might be compatible with the Spit...

Just started this sport this weekend, hunting crows to eat, figured no closed season, no bag limit, good way to put meat in the freezer, anyone else in Alabama doing the same?

Had a good morning hunt, first group of 5 to 7 came overhead at 20 ft with a tailwind and zipped by, all we did was shoot where they had been! New right away if they did this all a:m we were in trouble. Things settled down and crows decoyed well and some just committed suicide flying into the wind, still had a b...

Hunted 100 acres , got there after dark and farmer drove us around field and told us His observations which were spot on. Set up on a terrace that had a drain with thick coffe weeds, blind was one of our best yet. Crows never decoyed well, we're very spooky even at first light, had been some dove hunting clo...

Really wet fall up here. Lots of crops will go unharvested this fall making for a smorgasbord of food choices for the crows. Received several calls with desperate pleas from sunflower growers as crows have targeted these fields with a vengeance. Yesterday morning at first light amid 600 acres of fe...

I have sen where some of you have talked about the crows heading south or just plain leaving when the snow flies. Is this true? Or have I read it incorrectly? Up here in Maine, even through the coldest temps and deepest snow, the crows stay here all winter. We have 2 seasons, Feb/March & Aug/Sept. I s...

On this day I was into my second season out here and had my best solo hunt to date at that time. I made a note that of the 198 crows shot that morning 80 were shot with a model 42 Winchester pump 410 gauge with a 1/2 ounce load of # 9 shot. I was shooting hand loads in the 2 1/2 inch hulls. The remainder were shot wi...

Despite my whining a couple of posts ago about getting no action at all, today wasn't all that bad. Set up in the moonless dark, at a familiar location that was almost in a tunnel between the trees and the tall corn. Not very good visibility for me or the crows. First call brought in three that took a couple...
