I have seen several posts about very large roosts in other states, most recently the interesting stories from Bob about Ft. Cobb and the Bass Pro shops in IL and NY, where there were thousands of crows reported. In the spirit of passing crow information to Forum members, a couple of days ago I posted the...

Two hundred dead crows were recently found near LittleRock Ark. There was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows and confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu ... to everyone's relief. However, he determined that 98% of the cr...

Quick recap... Saturday morning I only got 2, but used a jake decoy with Crows Attacking Turkey call, and started a fight. About fifteen turkeys came out into the field, gathered up about 70 yards away, and mounted an attack on my spread. They checked out the caller and moved on. On Sunday, met up wit...

Well, here I am, Opening Day in front of the screen instead of going to the first set-up. Hope you don't think I'm wussing out, but the wind is 25-30 mph and gusting +.

Often, on this website, we read of contributors trying to attach real crow wings to plastic decoys, to emulate a live crow's appearance. If anyone has ever accomplished this feat, then it must be a military secret, as I have'nt yet read of anyone revealing how they attached the wings. We can clearly...

For the past two days I have seen a young crow with white feathers on both wings. He is one of our local birds that is right up the road from my house and 100 yards form one of my blinds.

Foxes, a great problem in the UK since they banned fox hunting, so only option is to shoot them or snare them, or trap them in cages, then shoot them. Poisening and using dogs is illegal, so these I shot. Still have another 15-17 to shoot, and that's just n one field, and will leave 1-2 alive, as they do hav...

I told some of you about the crows feasting on the undigested grain in cow manure. The farm is spreading the manure 6 days a week, all year long. They're milking almost 3,000 head a day. (twice a day.) So they produce tons of manure each day. As we hunted Monday, we saw probably 20-30 large tanker trailer...

Does or has anyone trained their hunting dogs on crows? Do you take your lab or other hunting dog with you crow hunting to work on retrieves? If not why?

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.
