Here is a picture of Obama "shooting skeet." I don't know about you guys, but this photo definitely convinces me that he is an avid shooter. He has got some solid shooting form there.

Finished with our winter caribou hunt at the tree line of northern Canada. 40 below dark zero was the word. Plauged by bitter cold resulting in constant equipment/mechanical problems. A few rifles would not even fire if you can believe that. 10 guys took 16 caribou. As the "crow flys" 537...

If you could have only ONE shotgun to use for crow hunting, which gun would it be? Make or Brand: Model: Gauge: Barrel length: Me? I'd take a SKB model 1900, 12 ga. 26" barrel. KenCrow

Do you think there is a big size comparison? Yes I will paint it black! I can get these for about 12 bucks a piece from my wholesale company.

I hunted last Saturday with my buddy Rick. We got to the farm early and built a blind well before first light. It was 4 degrees with a hard wind out of the WNW. After parking the truck and unloading my ATV, we had to drive about a 1/2 mile into the wind. Very cold. The crows didn't cooperate very well, but we...

What's the deal with a bag of shot. Everything is in the low to mid $40 plus shipping. It's at the point where unless you really need a customised shell, it doesn't pay. 20 years ago when I shot a ton of trap it payed and it was fun. Now it's not as enjoyable and I shoot store bought and home rolled. But when it'...

Often, on this website, we read of contributors trying to attach real crow wings to plastic decoys, to emulate a live crow's appearance.
