Finished with our winter caribou hunt at the tree line of northern Canada. 40 below dark zero was the word. Plauged by bitter cold resulting in constant equipment/mechanical problems. A few rifles would not even fire if you can believe that. 10 guys took 16 caribou. As the "crow flys" 537...

If you could have only ONE shotgun to use for crow hunting, which gun would it be? Make or Brand: Model: Gauge: Barrel length: Me? I'd take a SKB model 1900, 12 ga. 26" barrel. KenCrow

Do you think there is a big size comparison? Yes I will paint it black! I can get these for about 12 bucks a piece from my wholesale company. My buddy and I were thinking about getting 4 or 5 and getting some black spray paint. Your thoughts are appreciated. I'm thinking this should be just fine. The wi...

I hunted last Saturday with my buddy Rick. We got to the farm early and built a blind well before first light. It was 4 degrees with a hard wind out of the WNW. After parking the truck and unloading my ATV, we had to drive about a 1/2 mile into the wind. Very cold. The crows didn't cooperate very well, but we...

What's the deal with a bag of shot. Everything is in the low to mid $40 plus shipping. It's at the point where unless you really need a customised shell, it doesn't pay. 20 years ago when I shot a ton of trap it payed and it was fun. Now it's not as enjoyable and I shoot store bought and home rolled. But when it'...

Nothing like waking your 14 yo girl up at 4 AM for a father/daughter date! We had a great time. Ended the day with 57.

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...

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.

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...
