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...

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.

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.

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...
