Large numbers of hawks???
(Preview)
I started putting on dove hunts at my house 3 years ago. This past September we harvested over 1600 dove in four hunts. Now we are gaining a decent number of local dove population due to the increased habitat I have provided for them. With doves comes hawks of course. They are huge red tail hawks, some as...

Cammo Guns?
(Preview)
There is much talk about cammo shotgun finishes but I personally don't much care for the look of cammo on a shotgun. Mine are mostly blued steel and walnut as I guess I'm a bit of a "traditionalist" and enjoy shooting some vintage guns. Further, I don't feel these to affect my crow shooting ab...

Took out a coyote today.

It was only 6 degrees out when I left at noontime. We have almost 2 feet of snow, so I grabbed snowshoes, shotgun and my Foxpro. Wind was blowing very hard out of the northwest. As I was walking in, I came across 2 sets of coyote tracks heading into the wind. I followed a little ways and then setup. Facing t...

Decoy paint
(Preview)
What kind of paint do you use to paint your decoys? Decoys, the most "looked-at" by crows of any equipment we use, is as important as anything in our accessories inventory. Guns, shells, boots, crow calls, clothing, etc. are used while hunting, but hopefully not seen by crows. Decoys are...

Crow and owl decoy, it works

So being afflicted with crow hunting I am always looking for a edge. A buddy gave me this own decoy and I built a 2 foot stake to put him on and a way to get the string that moves the wings closer to the ground. We took it out scouting last weekend and drove the crows nuts with it. It is opening weekend for us th...

How do you put the hanger inside the decoy? Mine don't have holes in them already. Any other method? Also my Pole doesn't have a hook at...

Pre-brushed Blinds

While there is no substitute for brushing in a blind with natural materials where the blind is actually set up, I have tried to get a jump on it and zip-tied some of my favorite material from the yard -- my wife's big grass plant! 1. This stuff is very light weight, 2. I get new material every year, 3. I prun...

Halloween bat for crow in owls talons.

What a good idea! So I just ordered 2 off ebay. For you who use this how do u attach it to the owl? Any other setup where u...
