I'm going to have to be a bird watcher this season...
(Preview)
Bad & good news for me. Bad, I had a stroke in June and my Doc doesn't want me shooting a shotgun or large rifle this season. Good news, I'm alive & fairly back to normal other than missing a word every now and then. I had a torn liner in my carotid artery that caused my stroke. It should heal itself so...

Seems like the summer goes rather quickly after the 4th of July. Fall is not that far off, are you starting to get the itch yet?

Has the economy stopped you from hunting crows?

This is just my opinion, but I think gas and ammo prices have shut a lot of guys down this season so far? Let's hear some feedback?

Ithaca 51 12ga (Pattern tested)
(Preview)
I recently dusted off my late father's Ithaca 51 12ga autoloader. I contacted Les Hovencamp of Diamond Gunsmithing in Ithaca NY and I installed a new action spring, bolt buffer and receiver buffer. These guns were known to be fragile and they needed a longer action spring when they were brand new. ...

This past season

Here are a few pics from this past season. I am posting from pics I had to move to my computer, so I hope this works... I discovered 2 new farms to hunt that I believe will provide a lot of action for me moving forward. The farmers are very eager to reduce the crow damage to their watermelon crops. I believ...

Late season hunt.
(Preview)
Only a few days left here, dropped 33 a few days ago at a place I deer hunt. Dusted 24 this morning in a pipeline clearing close to home with a stiff north wind. They lined up right in front of me while I was standing in the shadows of a cedar tree. Fairly easy shooting for a windy day. That puts my clicker at 66...

Retirement (from crow hunting)
(Preview)
Three years ago today, Dec. 27, 2019 I shot my last crow. I sold all my crow hunting gear since then, and about all that I have to do with crow hunting now is think about it. Do I miss it, not really, but I think about those days which lasted approx. 55 years. But there was one span of about 27 years in which I cro...

tough three days.
(Preview)
I went on a 3 day outing with an older fella that wanted to shoot some crows. We revisited some areas that Dale and I had been earlier in the season. One of the first stops was really a scouting venture and when I parked by the orchard to see what activity was going on I could hear occasional gun shots, come to...

Another crow hunting milestone!
(Preview)
I shot 160 on a solo hunt yesterday and with that hit my 172,000 th crow in 49 crow seasons! Back in 2000 when I shot my 100,000th crow I never thought I would get this far. So many wonderful memories over the years chasing those crows!

Fall 2022

Our first outing was on Tue. 8 Nov. A warm windy day that was predicted to be cloudy, but ended up mostly sunny. We ended up with 52, and were quite pleased with that number. It was good to be out again, shaking off the rust, making sure the tools worked properly and re-familiarizing myself with the call re...

A NEW BLIND.

After getting a few seasons under my belt and paying attention to what I need in a blind and what I do not, I went to work on one that would fit all the needs I am aware of at this time. This new blind concept had to meet a few criteria:Had to come in under 50lbs.Had to be compact.Had to provide ample room for two...

Good Evening Everyone! I have followed Crowbusters for many many years. Back in 2000 I ordered 2 "Slayer" crow calls (1 Cedar and 1 Plastic) from the site.

Banded crow...
(Preview)
While doing some scouting here in Oklahoma I met a rancher who shoot's a few crow's now and then. He showed a pic of a crow he shot last year with a band on it's leg. The band had a phone number on it but he had never called it in. I convinced him to call it in to see what we could learn about the crow's travels. The...

Here are some photos from a recent hunt. We shot 173 crows from 2:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. No way to see all the downed birds in that jungle in front of us. The last photos are of some crows going out to feed in the morning.

417 crows in 3 hours.
(Preview)
Here is the best hunt so far this season. I got two with one shot on this hunt. Dick and I rolled 417 crows from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. I shot 217 and Dick shot 200. The first photo is on Dicks side of the blind. It's impossible to see all the birds downed in the under brush.
