The crow is probably the biggest film challenge I have seen so far. To all the MI. hunters out there is Feb. ever going to get her...

Hi boys, I am headed to the Show Show in Las Vegas tomorrow morning. Are any of you guys going to be there this year? I will report on new new crow hunting "gadgets" that turn up this year. Take care,

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...

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
