Quite a few years ago we used to eat crow breasts and found them to be quite tasty. Much to my dismay I was reading an article the other day that the CDC recommended not eating crow meat due to the West Nile Virus. They re not sure if the virus is carried in the flesh, or if cooking the meat properly would destr...

Had a few good spring hunts. Out this morning and shot 28 crows before breakfast. Didn't see the Easter bunny but did have a couple coyotes bark at me for a bit!! Ted

I forgot to mention in response to M12 Shooter’s “Black on White” photo essay, (yesterday), that MI turkey season begins today. My spring turkey season ended at 0830 this morning when a bird that took 50 minutes to call in (there’s a reason for that, I think) decided to try to be slick and take a route to m...

There was a time when I never paid attention to many of the sounds around me, I would hear, identify what animal , bird , or whatever and go on about what ever I was doing , except deer huntin where sounds help to alert you of game activity. Said all that to say since my 1st time in a blind , listening to the E-...

Here in Quebec Canada, there is a LOT of snow this spring The temperature is really cold for that time of year I did some good hunts but crows are hard to find, they are not in large number yet Set up of the last hunt, total of 32 crows

Old Artilleryman · Old Artilleryman

Finally, enough snow melted to get to one of my usual spots just outside of town. Just about any snow will cause my rear-wheel drive truck to become stuck, so there have been simply no places to park off-road, all year (I’m told). As the local in-town crows have been driving me nuts with their arroganc...

I went on a short hunt this AM. With nearly 150 inches of snow in my area this winter, things are pretty wet with melting now. The field I hunted this morning was nearly all sheet water ranging from 1 inch deep to 8 inches deep. Every dead bird hit with a splash. I knew this hunt would not be a barn burner b...

I now work in China and had a chance to take my daughter with me for a few weeks. Wonderful trip. While in Beijing, very near Tienanmen Square and across from the Forbidden City, I found a pantload of crows! This is unusual only because I have not seen many birds at all, let alone a nice sized murder of crow...

I am sure everyone here has noticed over the last year ammo and reloading components have been harder to find and often higher priced when you do find them. In my observation some stuff has become easier to find like .223 ammo, some stuff has become harder to find such as reloading powders for shotguns...

Greetings, Long time lurker here, first time posting. Today I was bow hunting(deer) and as soon as I got outta the truck I knew I should have grabbed my shotgun instead.

Almost the end of Michigan's FEB-MAR season and just had to get out once again. Took the easy set-up with natural camouflage, about 4 miles outside of town, where I downed 7 two weeks ago.

Some of these decoys date back to the 1940's & 50's. The owl & crow sets are from the mid 1960's. Plus you can see the various stuffed piebald crows. You will also see an old 45 RPM record player e-caller; a "Call of the Wild" Circ. 1960 Also some of the different model Johnny Stewart ca...

Greetings from Michigan! Had one work in really, really close this AM. This crow is taking the phrase "hanging on by a thread" a little too literally. #7's to the neck. I will say this, my wife was not too proud of my choice of photo opportunities.

Since it was the last day of the season, I decided to take the day off and get out one last time before I put all of my crow gadgets away.
