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...

Crow can be used as fox bait, not just as bait to bring in crows So, an interesting evening. Was going to sit till 02-30:00 in the morning, but decided enough was enough (back ache) at 23:30 Set up ready at 21:15 and at 21:35 spotted two foxes coming down a tractor rut in the field, one 100 metres beh...

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. They start off just 10 or 15, but by mid-morning some 50-250 come in to eat my pecans. The crows are very b...

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...

I was wondering how the crow season is going for you guys? Average? Better than average, or poor?

About a week ago I received my first Darrell Gibson crow call. It is the Short Magnum call, and it is a beauty! I have been practicing with it, and within 1-2 minutes I quickly realized that I have never had a crow call that was so easy to use, and sound correctly. I'm not much of a manual crow call performer,...

Hey guys, just a quick report without any pics. (have one of some corn stalks and decoys, but you've all seen those!)

Went on a crow hunt Friday morning. Should have been an easy 100 bird body count. Nice pecan orchard surrounded by peanut fields. Had two buddies with me. Got everything set up and it looked good.

Last weekend, after deer hunting in the morning, I decided to go pop a few crows. I chose a small slice of public land, and with a small spread began calling. There were some deer hunters in the area, but at what I thought was a safe distance. I also heard what sounded like someone target shooting, stil...

Curious if any of you have used one of these for any type of hunting. Friend has one that he has never used and wants to get rid of it. Wondering if I might find a use for it; not necessarily for crows. Does the sun cause any glare issues? Seems sorta flimsy, any issues in the wind?
