Hello all, I've been reading threads a while now and have learned a lot. Thanks. My question is Missouri's season is November 1st to about March 3rd. Two years ago I got permission to hunt a farmer's corn and bean fields. I see crows there all year round. I thought I read here that someone got an "...

With many of our local cornfields still standing we opted to take a 50 mile or so drive west of our location. The day was partly sunny, 60 deg high and a storng WSW wind. Our first stop was a big cornfield that initially looked promising but died after we had shot 5. We had been there about two hours, pac...

Well, I am tired of having to make due with whatever cover is available. I am going to build me some one man blinds. Here is what I am thinking. I will be using 1/2 in PVC pipe. The side panels will be 4.5 ft tall and 5 ft long. The front panel will be 2 or 2.5 feet long and 4.5 ft tall. The back panel will be the sam...

I spent the entire day scouting my spots. My numbers are not here I found one area with quite a few birds but my main roost is not worth shooting as of yet Someone from up north has got to send me some birds. Harvesting is in full swing down here and what few birds I have are scattered. Everybody else on this...

Hi Crow Huntin' Brutha's, The TCP continues to push the technology envelope in our never ending effort to boost our TBC. We wanted to share a couple of developments that are working for us. First, we are now using a custom built portable turntable to "spray" sound the full 360 degrees as w...

Kicked off my first successful shoot of the season today.

Tossed and turned last night with the thought of a few crows still around as I am a hopeless crow shooting addict with no hope of rehablilitation.

Packed up this morning for one last solo sunrise crow shoot. Crow numbers are getting a bit thin up here but thought I'd give it a go. Rain last night but clear at sunrise. Crows were a bit tardy but managed 23 by 10:00AM with several possibles and a magpie to top the pile off. All shot with my favorite dai...

Thanx to Marv from Iowa I have found the simple answer to hanging sentry's. I took a 4 inch piece of 1/2 inch pvc and taped it to the very end of my extendable hanger.

Took the kid out for some crows Saturday morning. Still a good number of crows around but numbers are really starting to drop off. Safe to assume that all will be gone south within the week. Shot 25 crows and a couple of possibles that manged to wobble off. Likely would have doubled that number if the youn...

We picked 3 more on the walk back to the truck for a total of 48 this morning with a pair of 10ga doubles. It feels like summer with a forecast of low 80's today and tomorrow but there are some new birds in the area. It should get better for the next few weeks. [IMG]https://i269.photobucket.com/albums...

I know a few of you have mentioned having to use steel shot on public land. We don't here in Maine.

Called a local pecan producer today and asked for permission to hunt their property. I told him how serious we were and how many we had killed last year.

Found a good concentration of crows feeding in some standing sunflower. Managed to secure permission after 09:00 AM as I didn't want to wake the farmer up too early.
