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 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...

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...

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.

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...
