Crow Busters Forum

Lame-Duck · Lame-Duck

I haven't been on the forum in quite some time, in fact this is my first post on the new Crow Busters format. I certainly like the way it's set up. Not long ago I had a complete shoulder replacement done, and althought I'm feeling back to normal, the Doc says no shooting a gun for the next 6 months (he said n...

Played hookie from reality again this morning for a few hours. Bounced only 8 bandits and a possible, all with my 16 and Federal 1 ouce loads of #8 shot. Wind was too gusty and from the wrong direction for the most part, sun was an issue as well. Missed far more than I hit, glad nobody was watching -- Edited b...

In my research for an upcoming vacation, I was curious about crow hunting in Hawaii. That's when I found the "End Crow Hunting" site. According to stats, Hawaii is the only US state that does not allow crow hunting. Here's why: ‘Alalā or Hawaiian Crow (Corvus hawaiiensis) The ‘Alalā is lis...

So, got out for the first morning wednesday, after the farmer drilled the field with barley the night before. Wasn't expecting much as the birds wouldn't know it was drilled, but managed to pull in a few, and got 7 for 9 shots. One flew behind a tree just as I squeezed on him so just hit branches, and one to...

Winter finally seems to be going, and today the farmer has started sewing my back field, so if it stays dry I will be out at them in the morning, trying out the new decoys and kit. hoping for a very succesful day, and seeing as we had no winter crop at all, and the summer crop last year was destroyed by ain for 6...

I have been messing around and building things like decoys for years. When I first got into crow hunting years ago, I built (with the help of Charles on here) sillouett decoys out of 1/4" plywood. They worked, but were never great in my opinion. I have also built floating duck decoys by carving th...

Love the forum. Love smoking crows. I don't get to hunt them as much as I'd like. To me the season closes too early in AR. I find that they don't decoy as well early in the season (sept - nov) vs. late season (dec - feb). Any tips for killing them early in the fall. [IMG]https://i88.photobucket.com/alb...

Perfect crispy spring morning with no wind. Three down, which is OK for one set up that I've used often.

Yes, it's brilliant yellow but I can not repaint it as I was given this thing with these words,...

I do enough crow hunting that I want to get a crow gun that fits the specific needs of a crow hunter. I'm wondering what gun you would go with, such as gauge, semi-auto pump, or even specific models or makers. I'm sure this has been asked before but i could not find much on it. Thanks
