Disaster strikes...
(Preview)
The story of an otherwise successful hunt.... Got up yesterday to the soothing sound of falling rain at 4:20 to meet my friend at the place where we had shot 42 a couple of weeks ago. We were hunting a field that is constantly fertilised with vegetable farming waste. A really good spot that always draws...

Conditions I have to decoy in
(Preview)
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  -- Edited by Redditch on Saturday 27th of October 2012 02:43:11 PM

Collapsible or sectional poles for placing sentinel decoys.
(Preview)
Zeddicus: For placing sentinel decoys way up, I've been thinking of using fiberglass sectional poles or telescoping poles. The one you show on your Some Random Pics from Germany and Ireland thread is quite nice. What is its construction? After a quick search or two on the Internet, I haven't found an...

Nut Holder / Did a crow do this?

After getting back Saturday from our first shoot of the season with my dad, my mom took me out to have a look at an old magnolia tree in their yard... It appears that a crow placed a pecan in the split of a limb to hold a pecan..The hole doesn't look like "pecked open" nuts I usually see in orcha...

How long to wait before shooting the same spot again?
(Preview)
I shot a pecan orchard last weekend and killed 60 crows in horrible fog. The farmer called this week and said I didn't make a dent. I was thinking about going and busting them again in the morning. Is that too soon? If I go, I plan on setting up in the other end of the orchard. It has I guess about 75 trees in it...

So, set up on a new field this morning in the dark, set the decoys up to the right, of me, meaning I should have the farm house on the left, and a clear field of fire to the front, right, and rear. As the light appeared I discovered to my front a gap in the trees, and about 150 metres from me in his g at the back of th...

Stupid high wind this morning, pushing 50kph (30 mph). Crows didn't seem to move much, just lots soaring and fun & frolic a mile north along a tree line. They just seemed to stay put. Managed to put the hammer on 12 with one double though. The first bird of the double went down squalling so I went over t...
