Hi boys, Last Thursday, while visiting my ancestral home along the Wabash River in Indiana, I met up with Big Honkers for a little afternoon crow shoot. As my big sister chauffeured me up to the riverside blind that Jason built for us, a single shot rings out and a very dead crow lands within 15 feet of he...

What do you guys think about using airguns for hunting crows? I have been using shotguns, but I am getting the Benjamin Discovery in .22. Alot of people are starting to use air rifles and air pistols for small game, and even medium to big game animals. People have said that, with the particular version o...

Hey guys, greetings from South LA! I'm new to crow hunting, but definitely not new to hunting or shooting. I'm a member of the NSCA, and compete as much as I can, so I'm fairly competent with a shotgun (or so I like to think). Anyway, just got a new Winchester SX3, added a Briley extended bolt handle and...

Bob, you mentioned the 'National Crow Shoot' in Islands' post about Jerry Tomlin. I'm starting a new topic as to not hijack that thread. Anyway, how did the shoot work? Who sponsored it? How many crows did you and Jerry shoot?

Using the stealth technology I learned as a crew member on a Klingon Battle Cruiser, I was able to go to "stealth mode" Friday morning at 0645 and caught these birds still holding 'roll call" unaware of the danger lurking near them -- me. I put my blaster on "stun" and fro...

A couple of weeks ago, David and I had one heck of a crow shoot (for us) near the home of Bettie H, better known as the "pecan lady".

Hit the same orchard I hit early this fall. Killed 83 back then and got 103 this time. There was two of us shooting and we shot out of shells. Could have killed more but..... Used the new hoop blinds but had already taken them down before we took the pictures.

Just got back from our annual trip to the Aiken, SC/Augusta, GA area where we hunted six days with Jerry Tomlin.

Hi boys, Our crow hunting here in north Texas has been very slow this fall, but we still decided to expand our ranks by one.
