This one is for you, Marv! How did I modify my Edge Triple Play? I made a wired remote similar to the Buster II mod on this website, and I went to a 9 volt battery from the 4 AAs. It's pretty simple. Pictures attached. 1. Get a spool of speaker wire - I used 75 feet, not sure of the gauge. Just a simple solde...

Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NO...

Anyone have advice and any luck hunting crow while the snow is falling not just after on the ground?

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.

I got back from Wichita Kansas yesterday with a load of 5,000 trap loads in # 8 shot. I'm glad I have 10 ply tires on the 4x4. I had to go to three different Walmarts but I took all they had. Now I can coast and pick up some here & there between now and next crow season. It's all stacked up in the ammo dump at th...

I just came off of my last hunt for the season. I was on 27 crow hunts either solo or with Dick my partner. Our average per shoot was 217 crows. In 40 seasons I have been on 1,503 crow hunts and shot (just my share) 151,148 crows. The grand total over the years with a variety of partners comes to 228,829 crows!...

Well I'm a tired puppy! Went out today to bust some more crows I can't remember when I've had more fun. We had another supposedly dead crow flew by my head today I had to turn around and blast him before he got over the hill! We scratched down about 31 or 32 but we only found 21 of them! Charlie's 2 is kind of fun...

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. It started out well with a west wind at 10-15mph that would quickly switch to an east wind just before sunrise. Fortunately I was pretty well covered from both sides to allo...

The NCPHA held it's annual group hunt last Saturday, in Granville County, NC. Chuck, Jerry, Mike, Dave and I met at 6:30 and stood around for a while to see if anyone else was going to show up. The temperature being somewhat south of 30 degrees, we did not wait too darn long. Our first stop was outside of B...

Want to discuss things such as what the normal roosts sizes are for Missouri; does the roost size change significantly in different parts of the state; advice for loca...

I generally do not mind hunting in cold or snow. In fact, some of my favorite hunting pictures are taken with snow on the ground. The decoys and dead crow bodies show up so much nicer with a white background. MI crow season is Feb/Mar and I have not been out yet. We have had a ton of high wind days....AND w...

Saturday I went with some local fellows, who I'm hoping can get me on some good properties in the near future! They had little to no experience at wing shooting. We had a lot of fun though it wasn't cold was up in the 60s later on. We had another Bald Eagle sighting could've been the same one we saw a week or so...

Well, my hunting buddy and I went hunting one afternoon this past week. We had to use a snowmobile to get to our spot with 2 ft. of snow on the ground in spots and over a foot everywhere. We also knew we were hunting educated birds and were just getting our fix being that the season is coming to an end, but I...

It was a little warmer this weekend. Pretty bad blind, but better than nothing. Wind, sunrise, and birds coming from behind, so they'd come over and come back into the wind. That was fun. Deer had dug up the hay field, so I used those spots for some dekes. Some pictures of my set up. One shows the spr...

KenCrow · KenCrow

Just for the Crow Hunters Book of Records, what is the coldest temperature you have ever crow hunted in? The hottest? Me....9 degrees cold. Hottest.....maybe 80-85 degrees. KenCrow

turtledave · turtledave

ok,dumb question. but seeing as I have only killed 15 or 20 crows at one setting,what do you guys do with the dead crows when you shoot two or three hundred.

Gentlemen: Whilst traveling from SW Michigan to GA over the past couple of days, we stopped--oh, about half-way at an undisclosed exit--and as I left the Interstate and stopped at the light at the main thoroughfare, a black cloud caught my eye. CROWS! Thousands of them! Of course I voiced my exciteme...

I bent up a clothes hanger in the shap of a crow, but instead of just wrapping duck tape around the hanger, I stuffed it with newspaper first to make it 3D, then wrapped tape around it, and spray painted it black. Do you guys think this will work, even though it doesn't look exactly like a crow when you get cl...

Well Charlie and I hit it again this past Sat morning. We had a wonderful frozen time it was super cold and windy but the crows were flying good. I think the fresh layer of snow that had fallen that morning screwed us as neither one of us had snow camo on! We still managed to scratch down about 12 crows and so...

What is the most memorable or funny shot / shoot you ever had? I've got a lot, but one that comes to mind.. I took a very large client on a guided crow shoot with Jerry Tomlin..The guy was as tall as he was wide.. I shot a crow and it was coming right down his muzzle and was going to land in his lap.. He was sea...
