Little success for a beginner
(Preview)
Wednesday morning I had time and weather cooperates to get a shoot in on a small group of birds that were roosting near a farm I was able to get into. Stumbled upon about 50 crows in a field while scouting geese. Watched it for a few days waiting for the right wind, which turned out to be no wind. I was only abo...

A Birthday Celebration - But Couldn't Shoot My Age
(Preview)
Got a call from a guy who had planted two food plots just two days ago for his deer hunting and already had some crows attacking his wheat and peas that had not yet sprouted. It didn't sound too promising, but inspecting the place at first light there were a handful of crows, so I told him we would give it a t...

Found them this morning
(Preview)
Been a mediocre fall this far with the crows. Half dozen here dozen there, nothing spectacular. Out of at first light this morning and found a huge group had moved into my theatre of operation, perhaps 5000 birds or more. Short of it, I cracked 49 crows this morning and a few probables. All this within...

Roost Story

I like reminding the forum the about the reasons for not shooting up your crow roosts.....I had a not too shabby area that had so many crows that it had two roosts within calling distance of one another! But the locals figured out how to get the island roost-the original main one and the big pine tree r...

First Hunt Of The Season - Double Delight
(Preview)
Was asked by a friend to attend an afternoon dove hunt on his property. He always has doves galore, so I was excited about the possible prospects of a full limit. A few days before the hunt date, he called and reported that crows were sneaking into the field. He suggested we hunt crows in the morning and do...

One 1200 plus day!
(Preview)
I wish I could say that this was one of my shoots but it is not! Dick my partner had a day in 1995 where he alone shot 1,222 crows by himself! It is very tough to get two outstanding hunts back to back, one in the morning and then another in the afternoon! Dick hit it right where he shot over 600 crows on a morning...

Did this same post I think last year, hope it goes better for me this season! Anyway food crop looks off the chain this year. Growers are looking at possibly their best crop in a few years.

Coronavirus Mask

For the record, I HATE wearing masks! They are stuffy, starve me of oxygen and just cramp my style of enjoying face-to-face interactions. I'm risk-tolerant and also believe there are some nefarious reasons behind the whole COVID topic, but I'll leave that one alone for now. My wife has many intere...

How things change over time.
(Preview)
During the past 52 years I have seen three prime areas for crows go away in 22 years. One area in 10 years and another in 16 years. The reasons vary from the feed changing from peanuts to cotton or milo to cotton. Other factors are the destruction of their roosts to make way for urban sprawl with housing. T...

Gear questions

Been reading a lot here and recently read about the 25ft hot stick for placing decoys in trees. I took the term literally and searched finding a great tool but at a cost of 200+ dollars. Is this what some are using? Or some sort of less expensive version of it? Also considering a panel type blind to use. An...

Well I was right with this subject I am happy to say so no one should worry-where ever you might be; the same goes for you regarding x your "lack" of crow activity in old familiar haunts.
