Really nice opening day. Modest statistics: 3 confirmed, 2 possibles. Possibles because I wasn’t about to walk into drippy wet soybeans to find them. I have a special photo for M12 Shooter (Ted), as he steered me toward an interest in ancient pump shotguns and finally, I was able to take mine out tod...

Hasn't been a lot going on here on the Forum in a couple of days. Just thought I'd let everybody know that there are only 12 days and a wake-up until Michigan crow season 2014 #2 (1 AUG - 30 SEP). Sure glad I bought a couple hundred extra generic 12 ga., prior to the current ammo insanity. Go get em'!

for 99.00 on sale.http://www.killzonehunting.com/ I hunted coyote out of it with my crow hunting buddy and because the top is open and you can easily move around on all side you have a window to shoot from and the top opens. I just purchased on sale and it will be discontinued so it will have limited su...

I recently got my hands on a Model 25 Daisy... Any of you know much about em??? It shoots extremely hard and is in good shape. I shot a sparrow off my feeder and the bb went thru the sparrow and made a whole in my siding. I am wondering how old it is. It is engraved from trigger to front sight and is in excellent s...

Just to let you all in on a little secret. Instead of using the boat just for fishing try crow hunting out of it. I call it shoot and roll. Shoot a little bit then roll up the river. I hunt the great Ohio and have never ran out of crows. It's even fun to shoot the pigeons underneath the bridges.

Man you do not find companies that take care of customers like they do any more. Here is the story I have had my Fox Pro FX 3 at least 4 years and used it hard. This last season I noticed that the speakers were vibrating and not clear or certain sounds. Well, just to make sure it was not my imagination I sent...

Fellers, FYI. I posted my Jackite crow unit in the classifieds. Hunting season is getting near for many of you and these Jackites used to be pretty popular around the forum a while back. Happy hunting! BH

Oh boy, it feels like Christmas in July! I'm sitting here on a rainy day, waiting on a new hawk decoy to be delivered. I ordered it from Home Despot online this weekend. and they notified me that it was shipped yesterday. I've got a plastic owl decoy that works good, but I believe the locals are beginni...

On Amazon they have a dozen Flambeau solid Crow decoys for 14.27. Saw it last Friday and jumped on a dozen. Checked my order and they are still selling for the same price. Free shipping with prime.

Got out this morning and "bounced" 22 crows and one that wobbled off as a probable. Nice to get out, burn some powder, and blow the dust out of my shotgun barrel after what is a winter that wont end. All killed with a 16 gauge, 1 ounce of #8 shot. Such fun! Ted -- Edited by M12Shooter on Saturday 4...

Hey all, I'm new to the forum and last year was my first year hunting crows. Being new I started with 2 cheap hand calls from the local stores, they worked alright but were definitely lacking! In search for some better calls I stumbled upon "crowbusters" what a big help this site and forum hav...

Bob, just wanted to know if we can at least use #6 shot when hunting these?

Ohiohunter96 · Ohiohunter96

I know the middle of summer isn't really the best time to hunt but I still wouldn't mind getting some running and gunning in! Here in Ohio the season starts back up June 1st, and I know I'm not the only one ready to get out there and bust some more birds!

Has anyone tried making there own decoys? I came up with an Idea and have tested it. I think it will work great. I made some decoys out of sheets of duct tape folded to look like a crow.

Last summer, before I had the foxpro, I use to hunt crows from a doghouse style blind. Having a closed top you can't get the easier over-head shots off but they come in REALLY close because they can't see you. I just unzip a couple of the windows and get'em when they're flying sideways. In the winter, h...

Hello folks, I was just wondering if anyone else has seen behavior like this. I was walking the riverbank on a cold winter day carrying a 20 ga. shotgun.

Hi everyone! Interesting website. I used to hunt crows back in the 1970's with a P.S. Olt crow call I bought when I was a teenager in 1965.
