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...

I had a great start to 2014. it ends tomorrow, heavy rain today. Might get out if it stops. This is the best spring shoot I have ever had . with all the snow and cold I didn't think it would be that good. How did you others make out? Now a month off than turkey season, good luck hunting, 10gacs

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. There was the sound of hundreds of crows. I hunt near a river and have shot a few crows in the area before. I walked down to the river and...

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. Turns out that there were at least three bandits that did not get an education back then. I was in the same small but ti...

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...

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?

Big Honkers · Big Honkers

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.

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.

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...
