Pick up the dead birds or not?
(Preview)
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?

strange hawk and crow sighting
(Preview)

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...

I went out yesterday morning at a location that I had tried once last year with a friend and failed miserably. We played the wind wrong and had a poorly camouflaged blind due to there being very little natural material to make a blind in the cow pasture that we were hunting in. This time I was a little more p...

It is a Gibson crow call made from a very special pine tree that dates back into the early 1700’s. Darrell obtained some of this rare wood and turned a few crow calls from it. Here is a little of the...

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...

Shotgun Blast & Crows

I've got a couple of questions, does the noise from the shotgun blast interfere with other incoming crows? And do you think they learn to be more skeptical coming in afterwards because of the noise from being shot at from previous hunts? Those who use the metro system barrels, do you use them to reduce t...
