When you high-numbers guys have a big shoot underway, what do you do about the "walkers", during and afterwards? Best way to dispatch? Send a PM if the info is "classified".

Just getting back into small game hunting after being away from it since the mid-'70s. There aren't huge amounts of crows (that I have seen) in my area of Ct but the season is 4 months long and I have a new Foxpro Wilfire on its way and I intend to get after the crows and coyotes. Not much other small game to...

10gacrowshooter and I had our second best one day team total today as crows have arrived in our area in force. We hunted from legal shooting time until 11AM with our Parker 10ga double guns. At that point our supply of short ten ammo was exhausted and we went back to our trucks to switch over to a pair of sm...

Well, after three days of none stop heavy rain ( that on top of last weeks which saw me bogged down it a field Monday) it was supposed to be dry from 05:00 this morning. So, got up at 05:00, and it continues to rain until 08:15. The pigeons and crows started arriving at 07:45 so I've missed the morning flight...

Just got a call from the Mississippi Department Of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks and it's go time. We had applied for a deprivation permit and all was going well till someone realized crows are covered under the Migratory act. At that point they had to punt to the USDA. After checking with them, the wi...

Zeddicus: For placing sentinel decoys way up, I've been thinking of using fiberglass sectional poles or telescoping poles. The one you show on your Some Random Pics from Germany and Ireland thread is quite nice. What is its construction? After a quick search or two on the Internet, I haven't found an...

After getting back Saturday from our first shoot of the season with my dad, my mom took me out to have a look at an old magnolia tree in their yard... It appears that a crow placed a pecan in the split of a limb to hold a pecan..The hole doesn't look like "pecked open" nuts I usually see in orcha...

We shot a peacan orchard this morning and picked up 45.. Only two made it to the woods that will probably not make it thru the night.. Only had a few call shy birds and most decoyed well..

Hi boys, On Friday, Texas Matt and I made a first time visit to a new property he obtained that requested our free crow control services. We dropped 32 crows on this morning and at 1:30 in the afternoon, just before leaving we tried our fourth and final varmint calling stand of the day. The first 3 were...

I shot a pecan orchard last weekend and killed 60 crows in horrible fog. The farmer called this week and said I didn't make a dent. I was thinking about going and busting them again in the morning. Is that too soon? If I go, I plan on setting up in the other end of the orchard. It has I guess about 75 trees in it...

Had two pretty good hunts this weekend. Got 60 Saturday despite heavy fog and 83 on Sunday.

Redditch · Redditch

So, set up on a new field this morning in the dark, set the decoys up to the right, of me, meaning I should have the farm house on the left, and a clear field of fire to the front, right, and rear. As the light appeared I discovered to my front a gap in the trees, and about 150 metres from me in his g at the back of th...

Stupid high wind this morning, pushing 50kph (30 mph). Crows didn't seem to move much, just lots soaring and fun & frolic a mile north along a tree line. They just seemed to stay put. Managed to put the hammer on 12 with one double though. The first bird of the double went down squalling so I went over t...

We set up Sunday evening and tried to follow as much of the advice you guys offered as we could. Wound up killing 5 (should have been 8 or 9 with better shooting; less choke next time!). Not big numbers but we're hunting a group of about 100 birds. They're local "Southern" birds that have be...

I decided to visit several of my farms this year and get some hides built prior to season. My favorite place to hunt has a 200 acre bottom in it. I pulled up to the farmers place and he was glad to see I was after his crows. I notice that he had'nt gotten his corn out. I told him I was out building hides but would...

Here you can see the difference in size between a NORMAL sized Jackdaw and a MEDIUM sized Grey and a MEDIUM sized Carrion. You can appreciate that these two species are very difficult to kill, especially once they get to this size and larger. Then you can hit them with 7.5 and they just shrug it off if at...

Well, got up at 04:30 and was set up on the field with my shooting partner Gareth by 06:00. Unlike Saturday the day started very slow. By 11:00 I had 19 birds, and my oppo Gareth had 9.

Hi lads, what is your favourite crow call, the one you would not want to be without (mouth blown, not electronic) and why? I am looking for loud, low and raspy! Same for ducks. I was thinking about Duck commanders: (Ole raspy, the sarge or green mile) or some haydels because they are inexpensive an...
