Ide like to just throw out what im doing to yall just to see if there is something I should change or i...

I was at ALDI today (basically a discount grocery store for those of you who have never heard of it) and found a 4 to 13 foot extendable paint pole for $7.99. They were selling it as a telescopic broom by the brand GardenLine with two broom heads and a swivel attachment for changing the angle of the broom by...

I started putting on dove hunts at my house 3 years ago. This past September we harvested over 1600 dove in four hunts. Now we are gaining a decent number of local dove population due to the increased habitat I have provided for them. With doves comes hawks of course. They are huge red tail hawks, some as...

http://jackiefreemanphotography.com/goshawk.htm For those of you who don't know what at least a female goshawk looks like. The males are smaller (not by much) and have blue/gray on their backs and a dark blue "cap" and light gray thinly barred underneath. I have never seen them toge...

There is much talk about cammo shotgun finishes but I personally don't much care for the look of cammo on a shotgun. Mine are mostly blued steel and walnut as I guess I'm a bit of a "traditionalist" and enjoy shooting some vintage guns. Further, I don't feel these to affect my crow shooting ab...

It was only 6 degrees out when I left at noontime. We have almost 2 feet of snow, so I grabbed snowshoes, shotgun and my Foxpro. Wind was blowing very hard out of the northwest. As I was walking in, I came across 2 sets of coyote tracks heading into the wind. I followed a little ways and then setup. Facing t...

What kind of paint do you use to paint your decoys? Decoys, the most "looked-at" by crows of any equipment we use, is as important as anything in our accessories inventory. Guns, shells, boots, crow calls, clothing, etc. are used while hunting, but hopefully not seen by crows. Decoys are...

So being afflicted with crow hunting I am always looking for a edge.
