BUILDING DECOYS
(Preview)
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...

Does color matter (yellow hotstick)
(Preview)
Perfect crispy spring morning with no wind. Three down, which is OK for one set up that I've used often. I finally got my sentinel up in the air on a 40' hotstick presented to me by a friend in the utility business. Yes, it's brilliant yellow but I can not repaint it as I was given this thing with these words,...

Another opposition to end hunting, starting with crows
(Preview)
I ran across this site while searching for crow hunting information - End Crow Hunting. The petition is directed to Dan Ashe, Director U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Dedicated Crow Gun
(Preview)
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

Owl Decoy

Ghillie Suit use
(Preview)
For a couple of weeks, we're visiting my son and his family who live near Ft. Benning, GA. One of the base's shops had a ghillie suit for a pretty good price. It made me think that this might be a good camouflage suit. One possible drawback is its mobility. That is, will all of the stringy stuff snag up on gea...

Real Struggling Crow Sound

Went out yesterday afternoon with my daughter. Knocked down a single. She went to get it and she yelled back that it wasnt dead and was afraid it would bite her. When I got to it, I had just clipped its wing. I put my foot on it and it went crazy... squaking and flapping around. That gave me an idea. So I got...

I just recently started crowhunting and like most I was hooked! I really wanted to make it out more this year but here in Ohio deer season runs so late, you really only have a month for crows unless you tag out early. Never the less I made it out today for the last time as the season ends March 10th. The area im...

Power of a 12 ga. shotgun

I was shooting my shotgun at some cans to see how it is hitting. My last shot I shot at a can and the wad got stuck in the can. I took a few pictures of the can. I couldn't believe that the wad wedged itself into the can like it did. The can that got hit by the wad was sitting about 3 ft. from the can I was shooting at....

My buddy Rick and I went out to the farm to hunt crows. We got about 2 inches of rain overnight, add that to the warm temps with all the snow melting, we couldn't drive out to the back fields. We didn't want to walk a half mile through 12" of slop, so we improvised. Near the dairy barns, there is a large pi...
