I have tried for years and years to hit a crow on the road while driving C'mon admit it!!! Every real crow shooter does it!!! When you see mr bandit in the road eatin on that dead possum nobody slows down. You may not speed up or swerve toward him but NOBODY slows down. Well after 37 years of trying I final...

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?

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!

If OBUMMER gets this way, this is what you will have to live with, and waiting times of up to two years for applications and variations, plus they add rules and interpret them as they please Firearms law NI.

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. They are light weight. fold up, and easy to pack. Check out my idea and if any one has any other ideas or ways to improve...

I went out turkey hunting yesterday morning, dad went with me just to watch. I called in a Jake and he refused to come any closer than 45 yards. I shot once with my other Nitro Special and dropped him.( 2 and 3/4" reload with 1 and 1/8 ounces of #5 shot. I/C choke.) When I walked up to him, I found that he...

I hav had several PM's Asking about this so I thought I would repost. This is a method I learned from Marv in Iowa.

The other part just goes in the second hole fo...

First, glad I found this site as I know nothing about crow hunting and the info I gathered here in the last couple days has been great. I got an 870 with an 18inch barrel and no choke.

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. I had a thin growth of trees like a fencerow between me and the crop field that shielded me from view. I heard crows calling loudly and moving in my dir...

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. This call sounded exactly like a fish crow, the only variety we have here in coastal Florida. The common crow, found further inland, has a much different voice than a f...

I know this forum is about the joy that seeing a crow fly into an invisible brick wall can bring, but this offering is about preventing crow depredations on gardens.

How far do you need to keep your hunting locations? Do you try to get a completely different group of birds or can you go a half mile away and. Shoot the same group? Also how long will you give a stand time to cool off befote rehunting it?
