I spotted this fellow circling overhead at high altitude, and took a low percentage shot... I couldn't just let him go by. A pellet or two found their mark, and down he came!!

The migration through south eastern NH appears to be finished, at least for the big groups going through. Yesterday morning 10ga and I took a stand and we killed a few over a couple of hours. When we were picking up we found another Piebald. We went decades without seeing or shooting one and now two i...

I rarely get to go shoot by myself. My new buddy Butch hooked me up with what was going to be a new location and I set up a hunt for Sunday morning. I stayed up and watch the Bama/LSU game until about midnight and got up at 3:00 AM to go to the pecan orchard. I get there and recognize it instantly. I shot it about 1...

Hey guys~I'm totally new to crow hunting, save for a few I've blasted with the .223 while groundhog hunting up here. (terrific results with ballistic tip 55gr. hand-loads) This fall, I'm prepped with good camo, decoys, and am ordering a couple of hand calls today. I've even been shooting allot of...

Got after them for 3 days, 1st day solo and my son met up at camp and shot the other 2 with me. 1st day on about 50 acres that had not been shot but had a poor crop. Shot fair but did a lot of missing, crows came in hot a lot and with me hand calling and e-calling and trying to see them first wasa challenge. Picked up...

Thought this only applied to Deer hunters here in Alabama, not Crow hunters but I was wrong. Set up this A.M. on a orchard things started slow and crows were call shy, suspected a local had been after them to much. After we had killed maybe 15 started hearing shots in the distance where other smaller grov...

Here in my part of Pa (north east corner), we usually see the migrators here either last week, or this week. But so far, they are a no show. Has anyone North of us seen a later migration this year?

I know this is not crow related, but as a proud dad I had to share it here. My son is also the reason I got into making crow calls. At around 2 years old he got my one good crow call and chewed up the mouth piece. After buying a number of calls that I didn't like I decided to try and make my own. That was many calls ag...

I don't think anybody's asked this question this year, so here goes. Given that the cost per 100 of 12 ga. "everyday loads", "trap and field" etc. in 7 1/2s are now going for about $28-$29 + tax ($.06 in MI) at Wal-Mart (Federal, Winchester), is anyone out there finding it less exp...

We have turned the page of the calendar to October and with October comes migrating crows. We traveled about an hour north today to find most of the corn still standing. The grass field in front of our blind was nice and low. Not much color in the trees. A front moved off to the northeast early in the mo...

Finicky crows.........or, I ain't gonna eat this slop, even if I am a crow! Other day I threw out some slightly molded white loaf bread to the crows, that haunt a vacant lot beside my house. The crows snubbed it , as if they were on a health kick! Usually, I toss them a slice of whole wheat bread, and they qui...

Skips post on the "Ambush Hunt" and running out of ammo got me to thinking that I should share what my Son got me to doing. We have a 100 round 50 cal ammo can and a 840 round 5.56 can both will hold a case of 12 ga. Low brass shells, We have a smaller one not sure what it came with but it will hold 5 boxe...

Son, grandson and myself lit out at 2 a:m, should have left at 3. Got my wires crossed thought it was a 3 hr drive but it was only 2. Needless to say we had plenty of time to set up.(lol).

10ga and I got both yesterday and today and between us we shot around 125 crows. Partly cloudy and windy on both days with migrating birds moving periodically north to south.

I am working on a design for a PVC-framed portable blind for which I will need some OK-to-good-quality camouflage netting.

Ambush: "a concealed place where enemies lie in wait to attack by surprise" according to Webster. As a run & gunner I would admit "ambush" is sort of my mindset once I set up in the woods, concealed, lying in wait for crows to respond to my sounds. This was certainly my plan las...

I am sure Bob will have the best streaks but I am interested to see how everyone does. I once killed 19 in a row (19 in 19 shots). It was midday and they all came in one at a time slow and low. My best "Gun Full" of ammo streak was 4 out of 5 shots. The 4th bird in the murder made a move on me right as I hit th...

I was out with my boy this weekend chasing some ruffed grouse in the bush as crows for the most part have left south into the Mid West for the winter. We managed to shoot some ruffed grouse but in our travels blundered upon a small group of tardy crows feeding out in a harvested bean field. Luckily still had...
