So, upto now I've been using flocked full bodied crow decoys, but these are expensive at £7.50 each plus P&P

Saw some full bodied the other day on EBAY £48.00 for 24 INCLUDING P&P so snapped some up. When the arrived I discovered they were extremely bright and shiney, and unflocked. Ye...

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...

Had a better hunt this morning with my son... thought he'd pop a few more than he did, but I wasn't much better. However, great fun. Got in before light to set up in a hedgerow with some foam and hard body dekes in the trees and bushes. Several more on the ground, with Triple Play near a fake gut pile no mo...

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...

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. ...

Ok i have had my ass handed to me 1 too many times. I dont have decoys so what kind of spread do I need? I thinking maybe a half dozen and some type of motion decoy.

We shot dove this morning and end up with 38 dove + 1 crow and 1 Eurasian Dove. We had rain for most of the night and the newly planted wheat field ( 40 acre) was too wet to get on so we hunting on the "sewer right of way." The morning started off with light rain and end up with a very light drizzle the...

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...

...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...

Here is what my brother and I came up with. The upper hook is for the hoop. The middle "U" is for my guns to prop against. And the bottom bar is to stand on and drive in the ground. My hoop is a 12 ft section of pipe with burlap 54" tall.

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

Due to work and school, this was my first time out this season for crows and it was a learning experience (as most hunts are). I decided to go to a state park that allowed crow hunting which was about an hour from my home. I had been there before, but wanted to try another location where I had never been. I got...

At our farm in Mississippi we are seeing more and more crows eating the corn on the ground around our deer feeders.
