Yesterday's bag
(Preview)
Another 17 corvids and 4 pigeons in trees, adjacent fields, and hedges (wasn't going to crawl amongst barbed wire, Norns, nettles, brambles, or climb trees to recover them). Wasn't. Too bad seeing as I was on my own, a floater pole broke, my whirly cable got shot though after 30 minutes, and my caller j...

Rookie needs strategy advice
(Preview)
I have shooting access to a field where I see crows (100 or so) feeding in the evening (an hour or two before dark). I'm limited to setting up in this same field (about 250 acres) or another about 1/2 mile away. I'm not sure where they are roosting. My question is: What's the best way to hunt these guy...

What are the best states for crow hunting?

What to do?
(Preview)
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...

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...

9-17-12 Big Honkers On Assignment: Pic From The Blind

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...

Crow decoy-size bag

I've been looking through all the catalogs, on-line and off and can find no multi-pocket/compartment decoy bag with individual cells for crow (pigeon) decoys. I've seen some really nice bags, but they are sized for duck and goose decoys and are too large for hauling around up to a dozen crow decoys. I...
