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...

Sending a shout out to see if there are some crow hunters from Missouri that would like to discuss crow hunting and roosts in Missouri. 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...

how many decoys do you guys usually set out. I have a dozen Flambeau foam decoys,do you think this is enough and what do you guys think of these particular decoys.

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...

I've been having some trouble with my Browning Gold Hunter 3.5" mag shotgun jamming with the cheapie Wally World dove & quail shells. Last Saturday it jammed on me 4 or 5 times and always when a big flock was about to eat us up! LOL! So I had an idea to make my HD shotgun into a crow gun! I bought a NIB...

I have been getting tired of my Triple Play slowing down or stopping, so I took the idea for the Buster II wired remote switch and made one for the Tres Corvidos. Soldered speaker wire to the inside terminals, and attached a new 4-AA battery box (with switch) to the spool. Now I can operate it only when ne...

Reason was that my wife and I were traveling was due to our son’s being afflicted with an inoperable brain stem tumor; diagnosed last May. We’ve spent a lot of time here in GA since the...
