Wounded Crow
(Preview)
Hello, This morning while I was walking our corgi around our appartment complex my dog started hauling ass toward some black object about 50 feet away. It was a crow. I was very proud of my dog for his hatred toward this crow. He got within 10 feet before he took up all the leash. I was surprised that the cr...

I want to thank everyone here for sharing their experiences so that I have some knowledge of what I need to do.

Home-Made Plywood Decoy Project - Improvement: Crow on a Stick
(Preview)
Last two times out this season, which were also the first two times out, I placed myself in what I thought were pretty cool locations. However, I found myself restricted in decoy placement because the soybeans are planted pretty tight, leaving not too much excess space. You'd think these farmers wou...

Crow Flyway Locations and Dates

Hello folks. I haven't been hunting/killing crows for very long, and I have a very basic question. I know that there are probably a "scad" of articles and scientific studies about crow migrations, routes, dates, etc., but I can get a faster, more accurate, and concise answer from the fo...

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'!

September 1st can't get here quick enough.
(Preview)
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.
