Well, I thought this was a pretty good set up, and I still think it was, but the crows stayed high and away. I have hunted here before and the crows just know me too well. My buddy doesn't hunt crows with me, but he did get up early to give me a lift to my stand in his new Kubota, and came to pick me up when I was do...

What are the best decosystem you can get and for how much? Im thinking about these Flambeau Flocked Foam decoys.. Anybody use them? For $5 a piece they sound good.. But they don't have the stake to put in the ground and Im not sure how long that foam would hold up. Would I be better off spending a little m...

Jack Mincey · 5065

I have had a Jack Mincey call for about a year now. In Pa., the season lasts from July to the beginning of April. Last year the call worked great, no matter how much I called, but this year for some reason, after about a minute of calling with that call, it gums up. I didn't use it during the summer, I just had i...

What is the best mouth call for crows? I want something that really sounds like a crow. Cost doesn't matter. Currently using a few turkey locator calls that don't sound to bad and calls them in but I'm sure it sounds nowhere near as good as a quality call. Also, does anyone have good luck using strictl...

Saw this yesterday online not impressed with how its above the barrel but says can be adjusted to bring it down a bit. Just thought it was kind of a neat setup and figured id pass it along. Seems like it would help for sure and made in green or brown. Ive got to get one im a sucker for things like this.

I have been hunting quite a bit lately! I don't have any decoys yet, and have been running and gunning on the river off the boat. It has been working great, but like most people say I get one to two shots and that's it per spot. The average number of crows I call in is usually 10-15 per spot, and a couple times...

Well, I don't get big numbers - only 4, should have been 10-12, but much fun. Wanted to share some info and pictures. My wife just had a total knee replacement, so I could not hunt the weekend, however, my wonderful daughter is on break from college (and is also an RN), so she covered for me this morning. I...

Sunday was my second shoot of the season. Went out with my son to our semi-permanent blind before first light. We got busted by a few really early crows, and we only bagged 8, but it was still fun. Glad to have him around -- I carried the big decoy bag, and he pulled my crow sled with the rest of our gear! S...

I have been on my 3rd crow hunt now with my FoxPro shockwave and the sound that just drives them nuts is crows. What sound on your fox pro drives your crows nuts? Also has anyone tried out Bob's sound pack the FoxPro offers? If so how much does success have you had with them?

I started putting on dove hunts at my house 3 years ago. This past September we harvested over 1600 dove in four hunts.
