Yesterday I got out for the first time in a month. Being a very low bird state, I have to let things rest. Got up 4:45, drove 40 miles, set up in the dark, deeks in the trees, on the ground, e-caller at the ready and blind built. Start off with some soft hand calls, not to scare most likely already hunted birds...

So my wife is reading a local "BUY/SWAP/SELL" magazine last night and emails me to say that somebody is selling 115 fake crows, each is 12 inches tall, for $1 dollar each. I get pretty excited thinking that I would buy all 115 of the darn things, keep a couple dozen for myself. Then sell the res...

Ordered this from buy.com for around $30 with shipping. I have come to two conclusions: 1. This speaker is not suitable as an addition to the Foxpro Firestorm I have. The cass speaker is loud and distored on level 2 volume from the remote. This is because the volume at the caller is turned to high so i im...

I took my father out crow hunting, he's sitting aound the house too much lately. He is in his 70's now and battling some cancer. I figured some fresh air would help him out. After we killed a few and slapped some high-5's, he had a huge grin on, but I was even happier. He used my Winchester SXP 12 gauge pump...

Tried that radio shack mini amp on my johnny stewart preymaster call, did absolutely nothing . Works on my phone but for some reason did nothing on my caller. Only $15 so no big deal, but does anyone have any ideas as to why it dosen't amplify my call ?

This is my new play pretty! And man is it LOUD!!! If the speaker is pointed at you, even 50' away, you can not stand it long when it is cranked up. It is deafening. Sunday morning I called crows from over a quarter mile calling into a 15 mph wind. It was amazing. I was calling with the wind till the birds stoppe...

There used to be state crow shoots and a national in franffort Does anything like that happen any more?

In a feeding set up, should you use motion decoys sparingly or throw them all out there? If you only have 5 or 6 static decoys, bunch them up or spread them out to 10-15 yards apart? Facing the same direction - seems to be what real crows do? I'm trying to get more decoys in trees and up higher, but is three o...

I've shot crows for years (we are Run & Gunners) & started back a long time ago on the old Jonny Stewart tapes. Changed over to Fox Pro several years back & have used it successfully ever since (so much easier than a heavy, tape eating bag caller). I have EVERY crow sound offered on MP3 or fxp f...

All these awesome hunt posts have me fired up! We finally get the start of our winter hunt Feb 1st. We're getting out this weekend, have a great spot, and a lot better idea of what we need to do thanks to this site. Our last few hunts have been learning experiences, not great numbers and lots of mistakes. Ve...

Was thinking of a new way to outsmart them. Anyone ever try laying a deer decoy on its side and scatter some dekes like they were feeding off a carcass?

Been hunting every chance I get since deer season ended. Killed 21 today, my best single day in the few years I have been hunting. Puts me at 46 in 3 days. Really starting to think about shooting crows all the time!

Went out this past Sunday to a new location where I had thought I located a flyway. We got there an hour before sunrise, as we had never been there before. Found out there was little to no natural vegetation to work into a blind and the crows seemed very educated. The wind was also blowing 10-15mph with fai...

Did some traveling yesterday and ended up with 192 for the day between my buddy and I. We shot 54 in the morning and 138 in the afternoon in two different cities. It sure was nice to hunt where there were some uneducated birds. It is almost impossible to have a good hunt around home, the birds have Phd's...

I shot 4,797 crows on 37 crow hunts. The total with an occasional partener once in a while brings the grand total too 6,339 crows which is 171 birds per hunt on the average. Been on 1,449 crow hunts in the past 38 crow seasons. In 38 seasons I've shot 144,187 crows. Here are some stats for the past 6 seasons....

Sorry if I seem to be full of questions. I've hunted crows off and on for years but never seriously like you guys. One area where I know my decoy setups are lacking is to have a "lookout" crow up in a tree watching the birds on the ground. I've never done this because I'm not su...

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 <><

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.

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.
