I am just curious as to what we think rates as the best states for crow hunting based on; overall crow population, open land to hunt and sensible season (not closed during the migration).

How do you think this drought will affect the birds in your area??? Have any of you hunted during or after a brutal drought such as this??? Deep southern Illinois was absolutely hammered!!! One of the farms I hunt had a yield of 6.2 bushells per acre. And that was a 300 acre field. Lots of the farmers just...

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...
