Do birds stage in the morning?
(Preview)
I have found a flyway into a large cultivated ag area. All birds are coming into the area and landing in a hundred acre field. They are grouping up into bunches of 25 or so then leaving for other areas close by. All this is taking place as the birds are coming of the roost. Anyone ever seen this? We will be sh...

What to look for when scouting?
(Preview)
I have been hunting crows for a couple of years now but have never spent much time scouting. We just show up at the place we will be hunting, pick the most likely looking place to shoot and away we go. We have been successful with this technique as there are a few birds in the areas we hunt. We have recently a...

Tornados and crows
(Preview)
My kill tally is way down from last year because of a limited number of crows in our area. Parts of the general area that I hunt in were devastated by tornados this past April; I mean scattered devastation that you cannot believe across the entire region. Our area had a poor early dove season this Septe...

Skeetshooter and I made a quick hunt this morning. He recovered nicely from the Boondocker incident yesterday where one of our own took on friendly fire. He is now fully redeemed after making a Scottish Double and quick single to make up a very impressive triple! Today was his turn with the favorable w...

We back the next day and saw a steady stream of birds headed in it looked like the same direction. I have never shot a shoot on a roost path. Where do I need to set...

first hunt of season Ga
(Preview)
Well, I could not get anyone to go with so I had to kill 18 by myself. I would have done much better had I switched to IC choke to start with. I had been using a diffuser choke but really started on a roll after going to the IC. Got 3 doubles and then went home. Would have done much better if I would have had the set...

Black Friday. The day after Thanksgiving.

Retail stores love Black Friday, if they have one. This conotation implies that this day is their best day of sales, and profit, of the year. In business, "in the black" means profitable. It will be interesting if you dudes will post how many crows you killed on your best "black friday...

Dead Crows.

Had a really nice morning. We started off shooting well and continued till the wind picked up. I moved closer to my partner and it was on again. We worked hard trying to break a 100 but finally called it a day at 11:00 AM with 95. The land owner was very happy. This is a pic of the setup after we cleaned up. The...

Any suggestions for anything special in the way of collapsible poles for hanging up decoys? I know about the big box stores with their painter poles and such, but I'd like something better. Thanks Chuck

How to scare crows away?
(Preview)
Have a few crows that are annoyingly loud around the neighborhood. Wondering if there is a sound that I can play through the car or house speakers to scare them away. No guns allowed for foreigners, inside city limits, no slingshots, air rifles, and no backstop for rocks.

Just to show everyone that not everyone in Kansas can shoot like Bob, lol. I hunted a little last year but nothing serious so this was my first so to say serious hunt. 15 isn't many but it is a start and I feel like I learned a lot.
