I have a preymaster 4 that has been a complete pos since the day I bought it. Changed batteries today and it wouldn't come back on. Called HS and he said it needed to be reset. He was gonna email directions but he hasn't yet. I took the day off to punish some crows and this guy hasn't emailed me, so another day...

Hey boys, Yesterday, Texas Matt and I responded to a farmer’s call for crow control with extreme malice. We sallied forth at 5:30AM for a undisclosed location we had last hunted years ago with mixed results but with an optimistic attitude, as per our standard modus operandi. One hundred and sixt...

If you live in area where you get an influx of migrant crows, you know some days are better than others. This website attempts to predict those good days. I found it last week and it will be interesting to see if it works. It provides weekly updates of weather patterns and predicts the best days for b...

Well Our duck hunt wasn't much more than a flop!! We stopped and stayed just north of Harvey. 99.999999 % of the crops were still in the field. We found a wheat field that had been cut recently and dumped a handful of mallards the first morning. That was the only field hunt we had. The next 3 days were terrib...

Another beautiful but chilly (39 deg) morning near the middle of the blueberry field—we have lots of them around here. This time I carefully reconnoitered the day prior, having been on this farm previously, but not in this particular field. Had the “crows on a stick” out and sentinel up on the hotstic...

Picked up 53 today along with 3 squirrels.. The orchard has 300 trees but only 3 trees have nuts.. Shot with the manager's 12 year old grandson.. After a while he got the hang of it and started killing a few.. Lots of call shy birds that flared off at 200 yds or so.. Fun day.. -- Edited by Mark on Saturday 12th...

I have loaded some new calls onto my Alpha Dogg. Can't wait to try some out. My smartphone has a voice recorder app, of course, and while camping I decided to record some pesky crows one morning.

No great numbers today but skeetshooter and I shot very well. We keep count on a counter as the birds are dropped or sail off into the fence rows to die. As we picked up the birds today we counted them. We had 62 on the counter and picked up 59 around the blinds with one more being picked up by where we parked th...

Having a coffee this morning at home on our deck. My morning MO when the weather is pleasant. But the silence was shattered by a group of crows, one of which landed on a old and large spruce just to the edge of the property at about 50 feet up. I promptly grabbed my old and trusty Brno Mod. 5 22 rimfire and ran...

Depredation permit was put to full use today. One of our landowners contacted us two weeks ago to shoot this 100 acre orchard. Last weekend was a total washout so today was the day.

I know this is probably a universal problem for crow busters, so I'll ask this of people who have "been there, done that". I'll shoot 2 or 3 boxes of 12 ga. on a typical excursion, and my ears will be ringing for days. In recent health check-ups, it's been determined that I've had more heari...

No big body count from the 30 SEP final day of the MI crow season. Yesterday, went to a friend's nearby 200 acre farm/"game preserve" to do some multi-tasking by setting up for both crow and turkey.
