On a normal morning we see about 500 rats fly. Thats first lite. We can decoy in some for the first hour then we get straglers from there on out. Its not a normal feeding area for them. Starting out with the rally call seems to work.This is a secluded corn field, playing the wind, concealment is good, but is...

I took my oldest son and daughter to the local spillway for some late night catfishing last night. We were there form 9 to around midnight. The fish were acting really funny. Each of them caught a nice fish. 4 and 6 pounds. I found out this morning when I checked the usgs website that the river was falling a...

Anyone notice a drop in crows in the mid Atlantic. In my travels through N J and PA the birds are not around. When I was in goose or deer mode watching the skies, they just seem to be scarce. Even worse when I'm on a crow hunt, the resident birds that I mostly have are short supply. N J is a low bird state to begi...

I know this probably has been asked before, but i can find any threads. So, with the SD season coming up, do you leave the dead crows on the ground throughout the shoot or pick them up as soon as you can get to them?

Charles and I went yesterday after work and scouted our farm for the season opener this Monday. It was snowing hard and many of the crows were already in flight back to the roost as we drove there. When we pulled in, there were around 500 sitting on the ground in an area of about 2 acres. Then when we topped...

I was scouting last thursday when I saw a strange sight. About 100 yards from the road I was traveling was a crow and red tail hawk sitting on the ground next to each other. They were only a few feet apart. I would guess they were 6' or closer. The crow seemed interested in the hawk or what he had but the hawk wa...

Have hunted with crow man in Georgia and he used some blinds that are no longer on the market. Would love to find them new or used. Anyone know where I can find a couple. Hid'em hunter I believe was the maker but not sure. They wre two man blinds that folded out like a slinky for lack of a better description.

Shot a spot this morning that we have had 3 busted hunt on in the past.

I went out yesterday morning at a location that I had tried once last year with a friend and failed miserably.

Hi boys, I received an excellent Christmas gift from Skip that has more than a little history behind it.

Here is a little of the...

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.

Anyone have any pictures of store purchased blinds that they use for crow hunting? I like to make my own but dont always have the time.

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...
