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...

For any new guys on here go to Adavaced Techniques and then click onto On Line Videos! If you want to view a Scotch Double (two crows with one shot) click onto "the sudden impact series" and look for Scotch Double. I guarantee you it will fire you up for fall! Bob A.

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...

I've been looking through all the catalogs, on-line and off and can find no multi-pocket/compartment decoy bag with individual cells for crow (pigeon) decoys. I've seen some really nice bags, but they are sized for duck and goose decoys and are too large for hauling around up to a dozen crow decoys. I...

I said I would report back on how the Red-tail hawk decoy worked with the home-made sock-puppet crow added to his “talons.” Set up this morning at a friend's blueberry farm at which I had not yet hunted crows. Well, I had some fly by and two dropped in. A better wing shooter might have picked off a dozen. Si...

I was out crow hunting on Saturday morning and saw a pile (well..maybe 100-150) of pigeons. I am very confident that I can get permission to hunt them but I have no experience and or idea of how to hunt them. Do you call them, ambush them, decoy them, ???? Any suggestions/tips would be appreciated. Tha...

I was just curious to see what calls I should use and how long do you guys usually hunt crows. When my friends go they usually call for 10 minutes or so and then give up on on calling any other crows in. What calls do I need to start with and continue to use so there are crows coming in for a while? I use the buster...

The nets around the tennis court are held up by poles wrapped in green padding, like the swimming noodles ( don't know the technical term). This morning, the bottom foot or so was shredded on a few of them. At first it looked like it had been claws, but there were droppings that looks different from a cat...

Do you shoot the same blind or change it up a little when you go back to a spot you have already shot? How long do you wait before returning to shoot again?

motiondecoy · motiondecoy

In my area even though the crows season had a few more weeks to go, the sight of the goshawk meant the big kills were over, that the season was over for me. Another area to the west, some 20 miles , all you'd see is red tailed hawks here and there and large fields -while feed was plentiful, not a crow in sight....

I will be using my Remington 870 and my old Mossburg 500. The 870 will have a full choke tube and the 500 will be sporting a 32 in vented rib full choke steel shot special. It is heavy as all get out, but it is a stone cold killer. May even throw in my Mossburg 835 for another backup. All are 12 guages.

I was walking around the corner of the field from groundhog hunting and I spotted this bandit up in the tree. So I ducked into the corn field and moved around till I could get the trunk of the tree as a good backstop. I busted him at 170 yards offhand. I would like to think the shot was skill, but I'm sure luck...
