This is Kyle from St. Louis who toured the museum today. His kids loved feeding the chickens in the backyard with their mom. We had a wonderful time talking about the history of that grand sport we call crow hunting.

To get into your spot before the morning crows are flying? Would you consider it a waste of time to hunt if you couldn't get to your spot before sun up? This would be just shooting local crows, wooded farm country.

If you will look closely you can see some of these birds carrying their PHD's around with them.

Been a very early spring up here in Prairie Canada. Crows are showing up now but in numbers yet worthy of a strong effort. Shot a few first crows for 2022 yesterday morning. First two became the decoys! pics below for your enjoyment

Rob is holding a 33 1/3 record that Bert Popowski gave me in 1976. It is perhaps the last one in existence of him demonstrating how to blow the fighting call and the distress call for his customers. He sold them in the 1940's and 50's for five bucks. Rob is also holding one of the crow calls that Bert sold dur...

Hey are any of you Crowbusters planning on going to the Tulsa (worlds largest gun show) this spring? I believe its April 10-11. If so, it would be great to meet you in person and maybe grab a beer after the show. Hey Bob A., After the Tulsa show I would love to come up and visit your crow museum since I wi...

Here are a few photos of an outstanding field hunt a few days ago with my partner. We figured this spot was good for a few hundred but were surprised to almost double that amount. We were shooting all day long in that spot and Dick has not killed two crows with one shot in several years and on this shoot he g...

The winter roost in Auburn NY, I was there and saw it in person 20 some years ago, it's unbelievable, sensory overload for the targeting computer in your head.

On the afternoon of 26 Feb. we hunted some inbound crows. They came in well and provided soft shooting until late, when the 10-15 mph wind dissipated. They then stayed high and the shooting slowed up and was tougher. We had 72 down, the sun had set and we began to pack up when we found a piebald near the bli...

Hey all, Our season ended yesterday here in MS. I got out a few times this year but only had one good (for me) shoot. My season got off to a rough start as my blind met an untimely demise by a 12 foot brush mower. I had set it the morning before I was going to hunt and that afternoon the farmer had one of his wor...

I’m getting behind on hunt reports, but we’ve been slowed by some cold weather lately so I thought I’d share a couple. We put one off a couple days so we could hunt on the warmest day of the week, last Wed. 10 Feb. The temperature did get above zero, but the crows were wary and we got 20. At least we didn’t set...

It's hitting home for a few folks as one poster on a crow hunting Facebook page posted yesterday, "How I am supposed to shoot crows when I can't find ammunition"? I think this shortage is much worse than previous shortages as this affects everything not just powder, 22 and assault rifle ammo. Some day...

If you were a crow, it would not be recommended to sit in a tree outside Demi's bedroom window at first light and call to your buddies to see what's happening. What is going on is that Demi is inside, plotting how and when to silence you so he can keep sleeping!! After a few days of listening to the racket ou...

In 1979 it was my 5th year living in Kansas. I was in my very early 30's at that time. On November 3rd 1979 Boyd and I shot 476 crows (Boyd - 266 Bob - 210) this was an afternoon flyway shoot from from 3:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M. Just 20 gauge guns in those days. The next day I went out alone on November 4th and setup...

Hello everyone, I am searching for information on adding a speaker to my Foxpro Inferno. I have read several post on here about adding speakers to the smaller calls.

We got some more hunts in during mid- Jan. On the 14th we had a favorable WNW wind that started out light and increased to 10-12 mph. Temperature was slightly above freezing most of the day. Shortly after we got started we had light rain that turned to ice pellets and finally to a wet snow. They came in one...

Not your typical crow hunting outings, but I have been bitten really hard by the long-range shotgun crow hunting/shooting. It definitely cuts back on the overall limit of birds killed, but when you intentionally and purposefully set up to kill crows out to 80 yards with a shotgun, at least for me, I ge...

Hey all, We spent a day scouting and two days hunting last week. Both days were overcast with temperatures fairly steady between twenty and thirty. On the first day the wind was ENE@ 5-10 which wasn't ideal for us early. We could tell these crows had been hunted, but our set up was pretty good and we sti...

We've gotten some hunts in this fall and had some fun. A couple were all day hunts and a handful of morning or afternoon shoots.
