Well, I know the suspense is just killing everyone, so...........Got the glowing-eye bat as mentioned in a previous post - as you might imagine, it is a cheezy Made in China item, BUT......it works pretty good! I did a couple of really simple mods (electrical tape over the eyes and the white paint on th...

How about this motion decoy for some added movement. Sells for $24.99 from Edge Expedite Decoys. Runs on 3 "AAA" batteries. With a qick coat of flat-black spray paint or get fancy with flocking and you'd be ready to go. Kev <><

I should have taken a picture. 10gacrowshooter killed a tall one in front of the blind this afternoon. Dead fold, terminal velocity and it squared his styrofoam painted black flying duck decoy. Severed the head at the neck and broke the wings. Into the body shop for repairs if possible. It's fu...

For the crows! Skeetshooter and I killed 94 this morning before 10 and then packed up and headed out. It was very foggy and most birds stayed low. Strange wind direction and only set available to us in this area made for some challenging shooting. The slow moving birds and heavy fog really messed with my...

I just have the common hollow plastic decoys. I'm not sure i know what you guys are talking about when you say "flocked" decoys. I saw at the Crow store a flocking kit.....looked like some flat black paint that maybe adds surface roughness to the decoys so they don't glare? What do I...

I went out yesterday morning with another guy to hunt crows in a gravel pit. It was only 6 degrees and wind was blowing. It started snowing about 9am. It wasn't a great day to sit in a blind, but it was opening morning so I had to go. At 6:30 am it was still pretty dark, especially with the clouds, but the crows...

Shot hardness is a critical factor in good patterns. The harder the better. The following results are from some testing by a member of a doublegun site. Seems even the Nitro 27's don't have shot as good as two of the leading bulk shot suppliers, Lawrence & Eagle. I seem to recall one member her...

10gacrowshooter and I got out today in nearby Maine for our first hunt of 2012. It was cold 15 warming up to 20 degrees with little wind and light snow all morning. We were pleasantly surprised to see a lot of birds for this area and at this time of year. We had very steady shooting for the first hour and h...

Could you please tell which state you live in and how many total days of crow season you get each year? Can you hunt on Sunday? We can't hunt Sundays and we get 113 days (+ or - a couple days) this year. Thanks, Kev

I have a battery powered robo duck that I don't use anymore as the duck hunting just does not appeal to me now that I have started to archry hunt for deer and that seems to take up any time I have for hunting in the fall. My question is how effective do you think it would be if I were to paint it black (perhaps flo...

I read the long post about factory shells vs reloads, steel vs lead. Here is my 2 cents. I have been reloading amost 50 years. Trap shooting on and off same period. I have two 9000 Mec loaders one set up for 1 1/8 and one for 1 oz. Before reading articles on Crowbusters I used to load# 6 up to 1450fps. Then I re...

I was just wondering for you guys that film your hunts if you have any set up suggestions. Been doing deer & turkey hunts for years, & my partner has done some waterfowl.

The only thing not mentioned in MH's post are the Crow limits for each State. I think California has/had a 24 bird limit per day. I am not certain about that tho. Ohio-- No limit.

I have been asking opinions about crow numbers in winter. These migration maps on Crowbusters website answer my questions. There are more crows here in the winter than in the summer. That is exactly what I see from personal experience.

Does anyone adjust the volume when the birds are in sight? Last night I had a great day, actually ran out of shells with more than 30 mins of flying time left. As I was cleaning up the mess I made (which is a good thing) I had about 20 birds fly low enough to shoot without any type of call going and me standing in...
