Personal Best
(Preview)
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...

My crow call is older than yours… 287 years old to be precise!
(Preview)
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...

What do you think to the Primos Alpha Dogg ??

Been thinking hard about getting a Primos Alpha Dogg. Officially they are banned for use on birds here (even corvids) but ARE allowed for foxes and ground vermin. However, I believe they are allowed south of the border, which is only about a 40 minute drive, and I often get invited there (don't go anywh...

Difference in equipment

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 suppose its because your crows are a migratory species, and you are constrained by seasons too,mso people can't be bothered to invest in equipment other tha...

Shotgun Blast & Crows
(Preview)
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...

Dead crows in Canada.

Well, it is not a pretty story.... about 200 dead crows in Ontario, and there was concern for Avian Flu. They had a Bird Pathologist examine the remains of all the crows, and he confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu, to everyone's relief. However, he determined that 98% of the crows had bee...

New high seat
(Preview)
I have a few fields that are very hilly, which makes shooting rabbits and foxes on them (despite the fact that are literally teeming) extremely difficult.
So, I've bought one of these high seats, which will put me 17 feet high and give me a birds eye view of the fields. Ideal for my 17 HMR and 22-250 rem.

Got out for two hours today for some crow hunting. Conditions were crap but better than sitting at home.

They also stayed very hi...

Good Bye "Stormin Norman"

God bless and rest his warrior soul!!! IMO He was our greatest leader and defender of this country since George S Patton! If you don't have a copy of his book "It Doesn't Take A Hero" you should get one. Awesome read. He was respected by his men and stood by what he said. What more can you ask for!...
