I had a nice thing happen this week, actually 2 nice things. One farmer came into the diner where I typically drink coffee each morning. He came to the booth I sit in and said, " I was hoping to fing you here, I have been seeing about 250 crows..........come and kill those b&$t@&S!!!"...

Despite my whining a couple of posts ago about getting no action at all, today wasn't all that bad. Set up in the moonless dark, at a familiar location that was almost in a tunnel between the trees and the tall corn. Not very good visibility for me or the crows. First call brought in three that took a couple...

This past Saturday 10gacrowshooter and I hit one of our favorite places in nearby Maine. It could have been a great day as birds were migrating north for much of the morning. Most birds were very high, heading due north and usually in balls of 20 to 100 birds each. We managed to knock down 21 between us...

I never saw anyone whose hit ratio was virtually 99% with a 20 gauge at the heights Bob A. nailed his crows. Some dropped like bombs , some dropped violently spinning like a horizontal top...some exploded when they got mighty close...but he often called his shots with comical satirical comments li...

Charles and I went and scoted a new place yesterday. It is a large dairy farm. As we got to the edge of the property, there were literally thousands of crows in the air. With the temps above freezing now, they were extremely busy spreading manure on the fields. The crows were out picking the grain out of th...

Quote from MOTIONDECOY yesterday (18 AUG), “When it's hot out they tend to stay near water…” Well, I decided to do a “quickie” setup this morning at the location of Sunday’s church picnic because I had to get away quickly due to an appointment out of town. The location is at a church member’s property. H...

Anybody ever see migration percentages for crows? What got me thinking about this, is that I see and kill more crows in the middle of winter than in the summer up here. Crows are every where right now. I realise that one of the reason is that they are more concentrated and gathered instead of being all s...

What are your thoughts on taking the scout? I've had great results and bad results 1) Took the scout and all the troops attacked and made for a great day. Sometimes I think it was because they saw the scout fall. Made things crazy 2) Took the scout, and all the troops laid back in the trees acting call sma...

Since I became addicted to crow hunting more than two years ago, I have never had an absolutely “dry” morning—that is, not a single crow came to check out my decoys in response to the Spitfire’s calls—until today. Did everything right. I got out and in position one hour before sunrise. Had the best camo...

After I shoot at or kill a crow, even after waiting 30 minutes to 45 minutes, they aren't coming back! I won't even hear 'em cawing anymore 'till the next day or so. Could you guys tell me how to get the crows to come back? Thank you for reading!

No elaborate stories today. I had the pleasure of taking my church friend's son, Sam, on his first crow hunt today. We had previously hunted turkey this spring, but it was too late in the season to get one. We'll take care of that during the fall season. However, today, a couple of bandits obliged us and h...

Like many of you I use my hawk and owl decoys occasionally and with some occasional success. I have never had a satisfactory stand for them—only a piece of re-bar with an extension PVC pipe. It worked, but the decoys moved around with the wind. The other day I was thinking of how to make a better decoy stan...
