Crow decoy-size bag
(Preview)
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...

Red-tail hawk decoy revisited
(Preview)
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...

Finally got a electronic call and I need some advice

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...

(Preview)
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...

When comes the goshawks
(Preview)
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....

What shotgun?
(Preview)
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 found one more pic of a crow I sniped with my 223
(Preview)
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...

Who shoots a 20ga?
(Preview)
Who on here crow hunts with a 20ga on a regular basis. I know Shane shoots one, but who else, and what do you think of them as far crow killing goes. I killed some last year with my wifes 20ga Win. pump. What I would like is a light weight semi auto, be it 12 or 20ga. And at a reasonable price also. Shayne

Hi fellas. I was wondering what decoy setups work best for everyone. Let's get into detail about this if we can. I think it would be beneficial to all the newbies, and the ol' vets too. How many dekes' does everyone use? Do you set them up in small groups, or spread out? How many do you hang in the trees? Ho...
