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.

I decided late last night to venture out this morning and shoot one of the orchards one last time this season.

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...
