Hello fellow crow hunters, Recently retired and settled in Northwestern Arkansas near Fort Smith. I am new to the sport of crow hunting and live on some heavily wooded acreage (67 acres) where I am awakened by the "cawwww" of crows almost every morning. Excited about taking on crow hunt...

Well, I did the right thing, and recylcled my Christmas tree.........it just so happens it went on the exterior of one of my permanent crow blinds I noticed the last time that we hunted there, that the foliage, was lacking considerably from what we had there last year....so I took matters in to my own...

I decided late last night to venture out this morning and shoot one of the orchards one last time this season. I didn't expect to do that well as the two other times we hunted here we killed 78 and 62. The birds on neither trip decoyed well and shooting was tough.I thought this would be a good place to kill a m...

I went "rabbit" hunting over Christmas break with my terrier, Weasel. (Here in Maine, they refer to Snowhoe hares as rabbits, even though they are hares.) I went out one day and she ran several of these hares, but she doesn't bark while on the trail. The problem is that she has so much white o...

My crow hunting buddies and I jokingly refer to sea gulls as "white crows," but this one really is a white crow. Maybe this photo has been posted before, if so, I apologise. A true albino. -- Edited by Mainehunt on Saturday 7th of January 2012 08:14:34 PM

Looking for some advice guys. Deer season here ends in about 3 weeks and I will try and get in a couple crow hunts in Feb. I have shot crows in Feb before but have never had near the luck as I have had in Oct and Nov. Is that just the way it is or do I need to look/try a different setup or location type. I hunt in farm...

Noah and I went for a short hunt yesterday morning and ended the year with a 46. We had one bird come in making a funny sound with something in its mouth. It was an unopened McDonald's ketchup package. The funny thing is the closest McDonalds is about 20 miles away. I am sure it picked it up from the side of th...

I was at one of our local building and rental stores and saw these. These are used to prevent erosion. They are 8' X 100 and something. A little over 900 square feet. They cost around $44. There is a fine plastic mesh woven on either side. I am thinking this will work well on some of our fields. A few steaks an...

Picked up my "new" double barrel last night at Cabelas. It patterned beautifully using my favorite load of #7 & 1/2s. Took my dog Weasel and the Nitro Special across the road and chased the rabbits. I got one at about 15 yards with the modified barrel. The other I hit at about 35-40 yards w...

I have seen on the web site that this call can be adjusted by moving the reed but I can't seem to figure it out unless there were two different kinds and mine does not move. I can't seem to get this thing to sound anything resembling a crow so if it can be adjusted maybe that's all I need. If someone could let me...

Hey guys, First time posting on the site, but I've been cruising these boards almost non-stop for quite a while now. I've read a couple of places that shooting the first crow on the scene is a bad idea because he acts as the scout for the rest of the group and if you miss, the rest won't come near. Any truth to...
