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...

I thought this recording of crow calls is really good. The download link did not work for me but I was able to download the MP3 file using another method. What do you guys think of it?

Hi there. I've been reading through this site and listening to Bob's podcasts while looking to get into shooting crows. Before buying a large e-caller, new barrel for my 870 HD gun and rucksack to carry it to the nearest public hunting area I was wondering if it's could call them to my back yard to take w...

Hunted an area for the 5th time since Sept. and blinded up in the same sweet spot for the fourth time, tried to move but this spot offers the best chance.

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.

Most of the crows were fish crows, but there was a healthy population of common crows to make th...

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.
