Went out late morning, (after some scouting) at a local wma that I haven't terrorized in a while, hopped in the old blind which was pretty grown over but still looked great, put 1 deke high and 1 low in a tree, fired up the caller. First half hour pretty slow 2 in 2 down, then a group of 6 came in "LOW AND S...

Seems every time I crow hunt its the same thing. 60 or 70 yards high. Im thinking of useing a damn tree stand so I can get in range! Kinda sick of having to take rediculous shots and shoot 6-8 shells just to kill a couple. I need more choke and skill to bat 500 at looong ranges. If I can find a place where...

Out again this morning solo after the crows. Clear, little wind, and a good frost. Crows were somewhat tardy this morning as I didn't get my first shot until well after sunrise. Finished around 10 AM with 21 good crows and a magpie. All crows shot with my favorite 16 gauge M12 Winchester, 1 ounce of 8 shot...

The Michigan crow season is Aug/Sept and Feb/Mar. Today was my last crow hunt for the first portion of the season. It was a very nice day with temps starting just over 40 and warming up to about 60. There was, however, much more wind than I prefer. Here is the view from the front of my blind: I had most...

Gained permission/ favor with a new farmer last night,( he really seemed facinated by the whole crow hunting thing) he owns a couple hundred acres of good crow hunting area, the best part is that it is within a mile or so of a big cattle and hog operation that really draws the crows, seagulls and vultures...

Saturday was a good day. We set up between a Hedge/Treeline in high grass and a field that had been freshly fertilised with cut up vegetable waste from the harvest that had been going on - looking west. The evening before we had seen 200+ crows in the immediate area. The flight line (confirmed by...

Crows are gathering up good here. Was out yesterday for a bit and found plenty of birds feeding and getting fat on bean fields to the south. With a stiff NW wind to my back, I located my blind just behind a stand of tall trees. Crows would top the trees and simply "float" there making for some rea...

I went on a short crow hunt yesterday morning. It was no barn-burner but thought I'd share the view from the front of my blind. I saw a lot fewer crows than what I had previously scouted. But, the ones I did see worked nicely into the setup. I shot right around 20, not sure on the exact number because I f...
