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. He asked me what kind of hunting we were talking about, so I told him Crow Hunting. The look on his face was one of bewilderment. He gathered his thoughts,...

"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...

Island Shooter · Island Shooter

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...

Set up on a orchard that we have shot twice so far with mixed results, got there a little late and had birds coming at first light before we had everything set up. I killed 2 while my son parked the truck out of frustration of them checking out the set up. Crows surprised us by not being call shy and aggressiv...

Yesterday afternoon I met a friend at his place and set up a hide overlooking a deer food plot. It didn't take long to bring in a few birds and we ended up with 6 common crows. Left to go back home and when I got out of my truck, there was a string of fish crows flying over headed to the roost. Because I had all t...

I have a pecan orchard that is reasonably small, but it is the only pecan orchard within 80 miles, we get crows early morning and they stalk and stare from a hillside not to far away across from a river.

I took my two little friends to the zoo today, ages 10 and 12, both girls. They had a crow there that would caw like a normal crow but when the domestic geese started sounding off the crow would mimic the geese and sound just like a goose! It was very interesting to observe this as the crow did not have anothe...
