Charles and I went yesterday after work and scouted our farm for the season opener this Monday. It was snowing hard and many of the crows were already in flight back to the roost as we drove there. When we pulled in, there were around 500 sitting on the ground in an area of about 2 acres. Then when we topped...

I was scouting last thursday when I saw a strange sight. About 100 yards from the road I was traveling was a crow and red tail hawk sitting on the ground next to each other. They were only a few feet apart. I would guess they were 6' or closer. The crow seemed interested in the hawk or what he had but the hawk wa...

Have hunted with crow man in Georgia and he used some blinds that are no longer on the market. Would love to find them new or used. Anyone know where I can find a couple. Hid'em hunter I believe was the maker but not sure. They wre two man blinds that folded out like a slinky for lack of a better description.

Shot a spot this morning that we have had 3 busted hunt on in the past. We were a little apprehensive to say the least but went ahead and hunted it anyway after scouting and finding birds there again. We managed 114 this morning and then picked up another 6 this afternoon on a hunt that did not turn out like w...

Do any of you guys collect crow calls or other game calls? I see a bunch of them on e-bay.

I went out yesterday morning at a location that I had tried once last year with a friend and failed miserably. We played the wind wrong and had a poorly camouflaged blind due to there being very little natural material to make a blind in the cow pasture that we were hunting in. This time I was a little more p...

Hi boys, I received an excellent Christmas gift from Skip that has more than a little history behind it. It is a Gibson crow call made from a very special pine tree that dates back into the early 1700’s. Darrell obtained some of this rare wood and turned a few crow calls from it. Here is a little of the...

Anyone have any pictures of store purchased blinds that they use for crow hunting? I like to make my own but dont always have the time.

I've noticed that in almost al, the USA crow shooting videos I have seen, not ONE, not a single one, has used a whirly, and very few use floaters.

I've got a couple of questions, does the noise from the shotgun blast interfere with other incoming crows? And do you think they learn to be more skeptical coming in afterwards because of the noise from being shot at from previous hunts? Those who use the metro system barrels, do you use them to reduce t...
