I used to own a VHS tape that had guys crow hunting then preparing them for the table...and have seen the recipes here.... Do any of y'all eat your bounty? I'm one who is open to any new taste out of the ordinary and would possibly be into trying it.

I just bought a foxpro spitfire caller. Although already ordered, I wondered what calls I should download later. "Crow fight" was the only crow call that came pre-programmed. Has anyone had good experiences with this call? Any advice on using it? Thanks. Crow Down

Yesterday I went out to shoot some coyotes. The crows were going crazy! They were flying all around, and calling alot more than usual. On the day that they were active, it was about 56 degrees fahrenheit ,sunny, and some wind (probably about 15 miles per hour). Today (when they weren't active at all) i...

Haven't been crow hunting at all this Fall. Too busy chasing whitetails since Oct. 1 when bow season opened in NY, but as I sit in my stand you know that I am observing crow behavior. Last Sunday, I watched crows as they discovered gut piles from the day before - opening day for gun. What an education! ...

This is my back field. It's a quiet day today as its raining hard. The crows you can see, also carry on about 100 metres to each side (I.e. behind the trees to the left, and the buildings to the right) and also over the hill there will be more. They just love this field, and when its not raining I shoot it ofte...

I was clearing out my deer stand a couple of weeks ago and clearing out some noisy squirrels. I climbed up the ladder with a pole saw to trim some shooting lanes. A few minutes later I heard some crows in the area. I hoisted up the shotgun and started calling. Limited spots to shoot through all the leaves...

Last week I went to one of my regular fields and the soy beans had not been cut. I got out of the car and turned on one of my callers just to see if there were a few crows in the area. A few showed up but it was mid morning and I figured if I got there early and set up I would get more coming off the nesting area. I was pr...

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.

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.
