A couple of weeks ago, David and I had one heck of a crow shoot (for us) near the home of Bettie H, better known as the "pecan lady". The more I think about it the more remarkable that day was but first things first. Bettie is 81 years old, is widowed and has a yard full of 100+ year old pecan trees. Y...

Hit the same orchard I hit early this fall. Killed 83 back then and got 103 this time. There was two of us shooting and we shot out of shells. Could have killed more but..... Used the new hoop blinds but had already taken them down before we took the pictures.

Just got back from our annual trip to the Aiken, SC/Augusta, GA area where we hunted six days with Jerry Tomlin. As most of you know, Jerry is a well known crow guide who works a large network of pecan orchards spanning from Columbia, SC to Moultrie, GA. Hunting is done only with decoys and hand calls.....

Since 2001 I had been very close to an elderly gentleman here in the community. He was a Korean war vet. He passed away a couple weeks ago.

The crows finally have ganged up in shootable numbers here in the Tennessee River bottoms. My pal, Bob, and I set up at dawn and had fairly steady action (for this part of the country) until we quit around 1 p.m. We both had our periods of "shooting like wash women", but we managed to scratch...
