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...

Historically i never plugged my shotgun(to allow 2 shells max. in magazine) for crow hunting. Recently a friend told me he came across a game warden that told him, "crows are migratory and thus need to plug the shotgun and Electronic calls not allowed for migratory birds". ! When i read my s...

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. We were very sceptical of a hunt this early as the pecans were still green but to our surprise he was really covered up. Noah...

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...

We had a great day shooting in a pasture where crows have been feeding and socializing for some time.. Picked up 87.. Shot with my dad and friend.. Birds decoyed very well and not call shy.. W used the "duck hunting method." and only mouth calls.. I tried out my new fine Gibson and it brought...

Suppose this bandit is in D.C. to feed on the soon-to-be-rotting carcass of Obamacare? Sure hope so.

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. He has two flocks of about 10-20 turkeys or one big one of 20+ depending on the day. Set up on the N...

Hi guys, I had a little hunt last Friday where I used a modified dove decoy system to pull a some crows in real close. Our local crows are generally pretty well educated, but this flat black painted Dove Feeding Frenzy decoy certainly focused the attention of the incoming crows. It sets up quickly and...

Hi guys, My brother in law and I have been hunting crows in nw Missouri for about 4 years now. In the last 2 years we have gotten more serious about it, but we are wanting to take it to the next level and need your help. Last year we would hunt all day run and gunning and only kill 25-30 on a good day. We would dri...

Did some scouting yesterday and shot a few crows late in the day. Found this concentration which were only 10 minutes from my home...but sadly well within the DMZ. They were at an old gravel pit. Water cover and food all within a mile. Those will be some healthy crows. Ted

My friend i about to join me with hunting and he is planning to buy an shotgun, what would be a good choice? Here in Finland we have restrictions on semi-autos that only 2+1 shells can be used during hunting, or only 2 its a bit unclear (for me at least). So semi-autos is not an good choice and the price is wa...

Back at the crows again this morning. Just got started when I noticed a truck pull up and stop alongside mine which was parked along a rural grid road. Put the glasses on to see some dude messing around with my vehicle. I then humped it back the 500 or so yards to catch this person deflating my front drivers...

Hit the same sunflower field where I had a decent shoot mid-last week. Crows were anything but tardy as the first bunch arrived well before sun rise.

Well set up in the pre-dawn on the same sunflower field I had hunted a couple moons ago. Two shotguns and plenty of feed for the guns. Only extenuating circumstance was that the crows had a brand new plan and decided to feed several miles to the west. Guess I hazed them good the other morning because only 5...

Any best ideas for shooting out of standing corn? I have done it before, I just don't like it. Sometimes tough to get the bead on them with all the stalks in the way and if you break them down the birds pick you out.

Hi all...I just bought a new Foxpro Hellfire last sunday...impressed with the volume it puts out. It only has 4 crow sounds programed into it, and so far they don`t seem to be as effective as the JS sounds in my old caller. From what I read in manual there is room for 200 sounds in the Hellfire, it comes with...

First day of the season for the young, dumb crows in NY State. How the heck do you get the crows at first light to come in? They were in the area -- some public land with not many crops. We let them start talking first for 15 minutes, or so. Then, I hit the e-caller with a few simple calls, and they answer. ...

Floating on the Susquehanna this past Monday my son and I heard this really raspy sound that was sort of crow like but really gravely deep and like someone with laryngitis. After a while the bird making this sound flew down river a bit and sure enough it was a very big Crow. Another one started with the s...

Hi boys, I wanted to introduce you to the newest unit under the Texas Crow Patrol umbrella. It is the “SST1” or Skunk Suppression Team 1.
