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

They are several on here that really do a great job writing about their hunts, not knocking anyone's posts. I enjoy them all. Just want to thank those that have the gift. And the pics that are posted some are magazine quality. Anyway I enjoy them all but some just standout. Happy New Year! Butch

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. Have to find another reason for my Beretta A400 Xtreme besides geese and ducks. Couple of questions... 1. What are the best crow...

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?

Where should an ecaller be placed? By my decoys or sitting with me?

How many 20 only crow hunters are here. I just bought a Weatherby SA-08 and are curious to see what choke/load combination everyone is using.

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...

Since we've finally achieved a degree of, ahem, "winter" here in SW MI (perhaps not like M12 Shooter's winter...), I am getting my PVC blind rigged up in anticipation of some snowy shooting. I will have it done and tested out (indoors) by the end of the month, ready to go out on 1 FEB--if there...

Ive been hunting crows now for about 5 years in northwest missouri. All I have ever done is run and gun. A buddy and I went out for an all day crow hunt Saturday. Heres what we did, please tell me what you would do different. At daylight we set up on an area where we usually have the most luck. Set out 6 boonedo...

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'. I have never seen anyone using a predator decoy like this for Crows. So, naturally, I wanted input from the pro's on...

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. I read with a twinge of jealousy about the style of crow hunting in other parts of the country. For many years, my old hunting buddy, sportswriter L.P. Brezny and I had wonderful du...

Here are a few more very recent photos. The piebald crow was shot last week. I think you will like the crows feeding by the circle irrigation system.

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...

Looking through the various Hate Mails on the site I noticed they are very dated with the newest one's being over 5 years old. Just who on the site was getting them and writing the humorous and well written responses, and why did they stop?

I was wondering what you guys used for a calling strategy in a feeding set up. We hunt a cornfield and use mostly Bob's light feeding sounds like recognition call, come here crow etc and use it fairly sparingly. Whenever you see it crows coming in front a distance towards the decoys or start to crow...

When is crow audience used?? Would this work for a feeding setup?

gacrower · gacrower

Anyone have a feeding call or something like a crow gathering call you could email me? I have never done anything besides fighting or death cry calls. Im tired of running and gunning. I want to try to make the hunt last a little longer. Thanks

Well we went this morning and my 10 year old got a new mossburg 20 guage youth model for an early Christmas present. He killed 3 out of the 17 we killed. One of the ones he shot happen to be a piebald. I think I was happier for him than he was. Needless to say he is hooked.

While at a party last night the host and a (liberal) friend I haven't seen in awhile came up to a couple of us while we were discussing crow hunting.

"Santa" left me a nice Gibson Short Magnum call today. He had clearly been by the CrowMart on his way here. I now have two good calls, counting the Faulk. I was hoping the Gibson would have had a lower pitch to it than the Faulk, but it is a bit higher. Which of the good quality calls will give a dee...

After years of studying methods for hunting the elusive fish crow, I may have stumbled onto something that works. Not only are fish crows very wary, but they flock and fly very high... usually out of effective gun range. Unless you can drop one or two, they stay high and are very frustrating to deal w...

Last week I got a call from a friend who has a high-fenced dove field adjacent to his house. Pete was complaining about the crows eating the sunflowers, as the high fence keeps out the deer, but not the crows. I scouted the field and found a good spot near where they were feeding, but it was rejected by P...

Shot approximately a 400 acre picked bean field surrounded by 700 acres of picked corn. These are large wide open fields which have posed problems with us and did so today. Temps were 37 at daylight, overcast and some layered fog. Birds woke up and we put around 10 on the ground then what I didn't want to h...

Finally got back after them after a month layoff, sure felt good getting back in a blind. Shot an orchard that has produced well this year. This was the 4th hunt so we didn't expect a lot and were prepared for a lot of call shy and seasoned birds. Got setup and in blind before good light, great morning clea...
