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. It is interesting that they are starting with crow hunting because it's the lease hunted, though the objective is to end all forms of...

A half dozen GHG on the ground and three ravens with bases cut off in the trees. Silly me did not take a my camera for pic taking. Anyway, spent pretty well the whole day there...

1 1/8 oz. Federal gold metal hulls, Win 209 primer, Claybuster 12S3 wad and Red Dot powder, that's been it in different velocities. Now I was thinking of loading up a few 1 1/4 oz.

Just wanted to say thanks to Crow Busters and to all of the contributors as well for all of the info that is available here. It has certainly helped me "start" to get up to speed the past few weeks. My goal was to get some decent hunts in before the season goes out (end of March) as well as determ...

Hey all, My brother in law & I were able to finally get to one of our favorite places this past weekend. I got to try out my I-Kam video glasses for the first time while crow hunting.

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

If you were planning to use a 10 gauge for crow, what type of ammunition would you use? Thanks

Hi everyone: Well here in Canada the winter has seemed so long. About 5 feet of snow fell this year and temps are still cool. I have been working on a portable blind,made some deeks and getting the rest of my camo together. I will go out for the second time ever if this weather cooperates. Looking so forwar...

I have gone out a couple times with an owl decoy and the crows stayed too high to shoot. I tried putting the owl on a low limb (3 ft off the ground) with crow decoys higher in the trees. I tried putting the owl on a limb about 5 ft. off the ground with a crow under the owl and 2 high in trees and it and it didn't work e...

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...

As some know 10gacrowshooter and I are big fans of and shoot a lot of crows with our 1890's vintage Parker doubles. These are not the magnum guns of today as we shoot 2 7/8" shells loaded with 1 1/4 ounce of shot, the traditional load of the era. We have been amazed with the long range capability of th...

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 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.

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...

We got out this past weekend to a good old spot in a low hedge row. Deeks in the trees, deeks on the ground, caller out and running out of darkness building the blind. Birds were starting to wake up so we settled for good 3 to 3 1/2 foot hide. Buried in well, but shooting from a seated position about 8 feet apar...

The corn fields are dry enough to hunt so I went out to my favorite farm. Been hunting this one place almost 10 years. Crows still there and I hunt the edges of the corn fields in heavy brush.

The spot that produces the best is in the woods. I have so much trouble trying to get a shot through the trees its unreal. Wondering if I can make a blind and put my decoys right around me. So I will get more straight up shots. what do you think?
