Got out for the first morning
(Preview)
So, got out for the first morning wednesday, after the farmer drilled the field with barley the night before. Wasn't expecting much as the birds wouldn't know it was drilled, but managed to pull in a few, and got 7 for 9 shots. One flew behind a tree just as I squeezed on him so just hit branches, and one to...

BUILDING DECOYS
(Preview)
I have been messing around and building things like decoys for years. When I first got into crow hunting years ago, I built (with the help of Charles on here) sillouett decoys out of 1/4" plywood. They worked, but were never great in my opinion. I have also built floating duck decoys by carving th...

Love the forum. Love smoking crows. I don't get to hunt them as much as I'd like. To me the season closes too early in AR. I find that they don't decoy as well early in the season (sept - nov) vs. late season (dec - feb). Any tips for killing them early in the fall. [IMG]https://i88.photobucket.com/alb...

Does color matter (yellow hotstick)
(Preview)
Perfect crispy spring morning with no wind. Three down, which is OK for one set up that I've used often. I finally got my sentinel up in the air on a 40' hotstick presented to me by a friend in the utility business. Yes, it's brilliant yellow but I can not repaint it as I was given this thing with these words,...

Another opposition to end hunting, starting with crows

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...

Dedicated Crow Gun
(Preview)
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

Owl Decoy

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...

Ghillie Suit use

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...

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 really wanted to make it out more this year but here in Ohio deer season runs so late, you really only have a month for crows unless you tag out early. Never the less I made it out today for the last time as the season ends March 10th. The area im...

Power of a 12 ga. shotgun

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. I couldn't believe that the wad wedged itself into the can like it did. The can that got hit by the wad was sitting about 3 ft. from the can I was shooting at....
