Got a call from a farmer this weekend complaining about the crows eating his peanuts. I know it is late for him to be harvesting now, but he is. We set up this morning in a hurry....running late. We were picking up our gear at 10:00 this morning. Thought it was over. Took the picture with 119. But, we were ab...

What is too close? I have a freshly planted wheat field on the south side of a roost. The roost starts on the north end about 1/4-1/2 mile away and the birds are using the wheat field for a staging area in the afternoon. This wheat field is in between the roost and a couple of miles of woods with thousands of a...

And a good time was had by all... well... except the crows! Killed 87 this morning with Skeetshooter and my 14 yr old daughter. She killed 5. We once again had a Red-tail hawk swoop in to help dispatch a walker. Got to love it when the locals get involved. The main flyway was several hundred yards from our...

My ancient johnny stewart cassette caller that needed 12 D batteries has died. Does anyone know how to get cassette sounds into my new digital caller? I would rather not pay $4 a pop for all of the sounds I already have. Or do I just need to suck it up and buy them? thanks in advance

Just wondering: what is your technique for having adequate shotshells at hand for immediate reloading? I've been using a pump with a 5+1 capacity and keeping my extra shells in my left jacket pocket. I found that everyonce in a while, during the excitement of downing one or two bandits per 3-6 shots (h...

This is my decoy set up, and the type of conditions I have to put up with here. As you can see, it's rather wet, and you sink past your ankles with every step. We've had this weather for over 4 months continuously now
