CROWS on COW manure
(Preview)
I told some of you about the crows feasting on the undigested grain in cow manure. The farm is spreading the manure 6 days a week, all year long. They're milking almost 3,000 head a day. (twice a day.) So they produce tons of manure each day. As we hunted Monday, we saw probably 20-30 large tanker trailer...

Just wondering if anybody has used the Assault crow decoy and what your thoughts were on it. And does anybody have any plans for a homemade tornado rotary decoy that uses two decoys on wires spinning in a circle by a motor? -- Edited by Speedy7722 on Sunday 20th of January 2013 10:19:12 PM

Lack of birds

Anyone notice a drop in crows in the mid Atlantic. In my travels through N J and PA the birds are not around. When I was in goose or deer mode watching the skies, they just seem to be scarce. Even worse when I'm on a crow hunt, the resident birds that I mostly have are short supply. N J is a low bird state to begi...

Pick up the dead birds or not?
(Preview)
I know this probably has been asked before, but i can find any threads. So, with the SD season coming up, do you leave the dead crows on the ground throughout the shoot or pick them up as soon as you can get to them?
