Well today (Oct. 28th) is the official opener here in IL, and unfortunately I can't get out there for a few more days. So, to keep my mind off of the crows out there, I decided to spend some time on a project. Got a little hairy around the lettering and some of the finer details are above my skill level, but I'...

We went out for a few hours this morning and managed to bring down 64. As we were picking up I noticed one bird with a crooked beak. At first I thought it was out of joint from the fall or something but when I moved it I realized it was born this way. As I was saying something about it to Skeetshooter, He picked u...

If it does, I've never heard of it. Perhaps in the Panhandle, but not down south. Is this sport strictly a northern or midwestern thing?

Hi guys, After our new TCP 2 man record was initially established last week, our very own Crowbusters drag racing and "run and gun" crow shooting champion Skip demanded we back it up within a week, for it to count. Texas Matt and I were forced to abandon our families yesterday to atte...

I carry this Shotgun for close range coyote hunting and it usually has a Carlsons Dead Coyote Choke in it for shooting BBs/#4buck Sometimes if the huntin is slow and the crows are willing it would be nice to change chokes/shells and go for it.

The other day after I had killed the white crow I took it to show the landowner. He said he had seen it a few times. As we talked he mentioned he wished we would come back and kill some of the squirrels. Well that was all the invitation Noah and I needed so Saturday morning we loaded up and headed back down to th...

I hunt with an old M1 benelli and I have noticed that when I use my 28" barrel with it, it doesnt have the classic 12 ga report of BOOM. It has more of a crack or high pitch boom.

Hey boys, Yesterday, Texas Matt and I responded to a farmer’s call for crow control with extreme malice.

If you live in area where you get an influx of migrant crows, you know some days are better than others. This website attempts to predict those good days. I found it last week and it will be interesting to see if it works. It provides weekly updates of weather patterns and predicts the best days for b...

Well Our duck hunt wasn't much more than a flop!! We stopped and stayed just north of Harvey. 99.999999 % of the crops were still in the field. We found a wheat field that had been cut recently and dumped a handful of mallards the first morning. That was the only field hunt we had. The next 3 days were terrib...

Another beautiful but chilly (39 deg) morning near the middle of the blueberry field—we have lots of them around here.

I know this is probably a universal problem for crow busters, so I'll ask this of people who have "been there, done that". I'll shoot 2 or 3 boxes of 12 ga. on a typical excursion, and my ears will be ringing for days. In recent health check-ups, it's been determined that I've had more heari...
