Difference in equipment
(Preview)
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.
(Preview)
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. The wind was very strong and the farmer was out playing around with snowmobiles and stuff close to us. Everytime we had them coming in they would see the farmer and spook away. They also stayed very hi...

Could it be more perfect...

...yet the worst situation. I was at a Bass Pro Shop and noticed a huge amount of crows hanging out right behind it. That probably had no effect on my purchases regardless of the fact that I bought another decoy. Anyways, just figured I'd share this with you guys since I found it amusing. Sorry about the g...

Good Bye "Stormin Norman"
(Preview)
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!...

Looking for Crow Decoys
(Preview)
Anyone know where to order full body decoys in Canada? I am having a hard time trying to find more decoys due to crow hunting is not a very popular thing around here. The big stores do get some but maybe a dozen at a time and the first person looking buys the whole lot.
Thanks...Steve
