(Preview)
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...

Well after pouring over Gadget Bob's latest post, mine will be mainly elementary. M12 Junior and I dropped a few more crows this evening.

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
(Preview)
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...

Sunday Morning Crows
(Preview)
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. 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.

Calling Questions
(Preview)
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...
