Last week I went to one of my regular fields and the soy beans had not been cut. I got out of the car and turned on one of my callers just to see if there were a few crows in the area. A few showed up but it was mid morning and I figured if I got there early and set up I would get more coming off the nesting area. I was pr...

Got a call from a farmer this weekend complaining about the crows eating his peanuts. I know it is late for him to be harvesting now, but he is. We set up this morning in a hurry....running late. We were picking up our gear at 10:00 this morning. Thought it was over. Took the picture with 119. But, we were ab...

The roost starts on the north end about 1/4-1/2 mile away and the birds are using the wheat field for a staging area in the afternoon. This wheat field is in between the roost and a couple of miles of woods with thousands of a...

And a good time was had by all... well... except the crows! Killed 87 this morning with Skeetshooter and my 14 yr old daughter. She killed 5.

My ancient johnny stewart cassette caller that needed 12 D batteries has died. Does anyone know how to get cassette sounds into my new digital caller? I would rather not pay $4 a pop for all of the sounds I already have. Or do I just need to suck it up and buy them? thanks in advance

Just wondering: what is your technique for having adequate shotshells at hand for immediate reloading? I've been using a pump with a 5+1 capacity and keeping my extra shells in my left jacket pocket. I found that everyonce in a while, during the excitement of downing one or two bandits per 3-6 shots (h...
