53 + 3 Today
(Preview)
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...

Record your own calls
(Preview)
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. I now took that a step further and made a little amphitheatre-style device out of a 6x4x8" food storag...

High percentage shoot.
(Preview)
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...

Morning Coffee Crow.
(Preview)
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...

Crows catagorized as Migratory Bird, plug the gun/no E callers.
(Preview)
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...

Great Start to the New Season!!
(Preview)
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...

Hearing Protection?
(Preview)
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. He has two flocks of about 10-20 turkeys or one big one of 20+ depending on the day. Set up on the N...

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...

Crownado!
(Preview)
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

Best shotgun for crow hunting in Finland? need suggestions.
(Preview)
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...

Altercation in the Field

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...

Killed 21 bandits before the sun peeked over the horizon. One never gets tired of a warm shotgun barrel! Only managed 3 more crows and a magpie in the coupl...

Manitoba Crow No Show
(Preview)
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...
