On the invitation of a friend we attended a commissioning ceremony today for the deployment of the 1-171 MEDEVAC Army National Guard's Foxtrot Company. It was very moving watching their family and friends prepare to send them off for a year long deployment to Afghanistan. I was very proud to be ther...

Hey, I've seen several comments about how we use the same e-caller sounds all over the world. I have taken various commercial and non-commercial crow sounds and used Audacity editing software that I downloaded on line to mix up some of my own sounds. You can copy and paste portions to repeat, delete...

My crow hunting partner and I enjoy crow hunting so much that we named our barbeque team "Old Crow Smokers"; you know that they taste just like chicken!

A buddy and i have started tryin a new strategy that seems to be working pretty well. We get in the river bottom right next to the river and call down the river. Sound travels pretty well. We start off with fairly low volume trying to call in the closer birds first, then increase the volume picking up the on...

So I went on my first crow hunt this evening where I always see a ton of crows in a cut corn field(the field was cut and tilled already). We passed a few crows along the road before we got there but saw none there. That didnt discourage me in the least as I was full of confidence still. I put out my dekes(3 flock...

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...

A Lefever Nitro Special by Ithica. 12 guage, double triggers, 30" barrels, full and modified. The bores are near perfect, very tight act...

I own a 7 panel I use for crow hunting and predator hunting. I don't have a thing to do with the company. I am going on 2 years on mine and it still is like new.

Since I live near Ithaca, NY and Cornell University with their Lab of Ornithology, I read about some interesting data in the local paper. This year, one bird species with a particularly weak showing was the crow. Last year, local birders counted 9,000, and this year, because the weather has been war...

This was Noah's first deer! Started off the morning getting busted by a doe that smelled us. Then had a buck crash in checking his scrape line but it did not present a shot. Finally around 9 AM had three does come into the stand. Noah was asleep when I poked him and pointed to them. He got his gun up and had to w...

Just curious as to the thoughts of others as to whether you let all downed birds lay till the hunt is over? Or do you retrieve long birds that may hang up the incoming birds? We generally just let them lay where they fall. In the last two hunts we have had odd situations where the birds were hanging up on dow...

I spent the morning shooting crows with a friend I met this last summer while shooting clays. He is an accomplished trap shooter and an outstanding wing-shooter. He has a lead shot maker and makes all of his own shot and also ours. Most of the crows we have killed this year have been taken with his shot. I...

Have permission to hunt a small parcel less than 1/4 mile from an active landfill. It is also an active flyway. Last year we would go out and set up before dawn and have a blast when the birds would come over and decoy in, the only problem was they would still be in a large flock. Bang, bang and it was over. Wou...

We were on our way to a rough shoot yesterday when we past a couple of fields full of crows. It turns out that the land belongs to a friend of one of the guys at the rough shoot. We cant set up our blind before first light so I was wondering if we disturb the crows will they return after they get scared off.
