At our farm in Mississippi we are seeing more and more crows eating the corn on the ground around our deer feeders. I was wondering if anyone has ever built a platform and put corn on it to attract crows? It would have to be high enough to keep the deer off of it. Would love to train the crows in the area to...

This was taken around noon. We had 119 birds down and 109 are shown here with 10 others in the woods. We thought we were done at least enough to line up the KIA's for a picuture.

I just hunted in the afternoon on both shoots, both were flyway shoots. The first shoot I shot 426 crows with 554 trap loads. I shot from 1:oo P.M. to 7:20 P.M. Up until 3:00 P.M I had a whopping 13 crows down. By 5:00 P.M. I had 138 down, then they started to move! From 5:20 P.M. to 7:20 P.M. I shot the rest in a w...

Hi boys, Last Thursday, while visiting my ancestral home along the Wabash River in Indiana, I met up with Big Honkers for a little afternoon crow shoot. As my big sister chauffeured me up to the riverside blind that Jason built for us, a single shot rings out and a very dead crow lands within 15 feet of he...

What do you guys think about using airguns for hunting crows? I have been using shotguns, but I am getting the Benjamin Discovery in .22. Alot of people are starting to use air rifles and air pistols for small game, and even medium to big game animals. People have said that, with the particular version o...

Hey guys, greetings from South LA! I'm new to crow hunting, but definitely not new to hunting or shooting. I'm a member of the NSCA, and compete as much as I can, so I'm fairly competent with a shotgun (or so I like to think). Anyway, just got a new Winchester SX3, added a Briley extended bolt handle and...

Using the stealth technology I learned as a crew member on a Klingon Battle Cruiser, I was able to go to "stealth mode" Friday morning at 0645 and caught these birds still holding 'roll call" unaware of the danger lurking near them -- me. I put my blaster on "stun" and fro...
