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. Yep, the home defense gun. I am guessing thT crow hunting with such a barrel is a waste of time and not very effective but I fig...

"The Summertime Blues", Eddie Cochran, 1958. Remember that one? Some of us "senior" crow hunters do! If you have the summertime blues, I have a cure for it! Pay attention: get off your ass, stop watching asinine ball games, grab 'ol betsy, or what ever her name is, and head to f...

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. My father-in-law had a very large garden in the country with a lot of corn planted. he was horrified to find that row after row of corn spr...

I don't get around like I used to. I used to carry my decoys, electric caller, shotgun shells, etc. in a good sized backpack, and carried my Rem. Mod. 1100 and Mossberg Mod. 640 .22 mag. on slings. Sometimes I had to hike over a quarter mile to get to my blind in the best part of the flyway. Now that my knee...

Hello fellow CB members! I hope everyone is having a great summer. I had a couple tree limbs that needed to come down because they were getting in the way of my internet receiver when the wind would blow from a certain direction. I was able to get all but one with a ladder. That last limb was just too hig...

I took Dad back out hunting last Saturday as he had a 2nd turkey tag. We went across the river from his house to a farmer's field. I often see turkeys from across the river there in the corner of a corn field. The legal time fro shooting on Saturday was 4:33 am. (1/2 hour before sunrise) I had Dad sitting und...

Here are a variety of pictures that give you an idea of the kind of stuff I like to photograph.

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?

Got out this morning for a few hours. Shot about a dozen crows or so between 6-7AM when at abuot that time some light rain began to set in. Promptly shut the crows down and I packed up for home. Collected most of the KIA's to bush them. One looked kind of poor and unkept for some reason. Upon closer examinat...

Need some help from you electronic gadget gurus......Recently purchased a new FoxPro caller, and looking for info from you guys that use them, as to which batteries you reccomend for them, and why. Sure appreciate your help with this one.

Redditch · Redditch

Well, the crows were late breeding, and still have young in the nest, so not interested in coming to decoys, or even feeding on the crops, they are just interested in worms and grubs at the moment still its raining none stop too, so not even getting any bunny or fox shooting at the moment

Hello, I am looking for some advice on crow hunting in marshy / swampy areas. I am currently in the military stationed at Langley AFB.
