This year's portable blind idea
(Preview)
Between seasons I’ve been on YouTube watching others down vast amounts of crows. Yeah, I realize it’s all editing—you know, one year on a five minute video, but I’m still envious.

Upgraded owl/hawk stand
(Preview)
Like many of you I use my hawk and owl decoys occasionally and with some occasional success. I have never had a satisfactory stand for them—only a piece of re-bar with an extension PVC pipe. It worked, but the decoys moved around with the wind. The other day I was thinking of how to make a better decoy stan...

Spam on this Forum
(Preview)
I just received a PM from an unknown name, "ancomp." Since I receive PMs from other members, I opened it up. Turns out that someone was using the site to sell belt buckles. I replied by saying I did not want any unsolicited sales pitches. Did anyone else get this sales message?

Rescind the Second Amendment
(Preview)
From The Washington Post, Published: December 20 All the talk about gun reform that we are beginning to hear will result, at best, only in Band-Aid treatment. Let’s get to the root of the gun problem: the Second Amendment. The Prohibition amendment did not work, so we rescinded it. Gun control as we kn...

Thoughts on Gun Buying
(Preview)
I was thinking about the topic on buying new shotguns, and I would like to see gun manufactures put on events where you can try out the guns they make, seems to me they could sell a few more guns. To me just handling a gun in a shop will not answer the things I need to know. I seek advice as 8fisherman is and try...

Mouth Call Sequences
(Preview)
Hey everyone. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I've hunted crow once or twice a few years back and I'm looking for some advice. When I hunted crow in the past I used an electronic call, and usually used the "fighting crow" sound from foxpro to bring them in. That seeme...

Something very strange at my house
(Preview)
I used to use the mouth call and piss off about 8 crows that live in my area. They would circle the house making all kinds of noise. Well for the past three weeks I have had one crow that sits in the trees around my house and every time I go outside he starts to call. I have recorded him he is that loud. My wife di...

Would this decoy setup work?
(Preview)
I have an owl decoy and thought about tying a dead crow to the bottom to make it look like the owl killed a crow, seems like it would make them mad, has anybody tried this?

Spring Campaign Winds Down

Out the other morning back to my favorite crow ambush point. Northward migration draws to a close as very few visitors were met with a charge of 8 shot from my 16 gauge M 12. This marks the end of the spring campaign. Now is time to bring the fight to the crows which are spread across the rural landscape and b...

Spring Shooting
(Preview)
I can't help but notice the lack of dead crow posts as of late. Guess most members I would assume are grounded as crow "seasons" are likely over and done south of the 49th. Up here in Canada the spring shoot is winding down. I shot one single blind for most of April with great success. All hunts w...
