Kicked off my first successful shoot of the season today. I went yesterday to obtain permission on one of my private land spots and the man who holds the hunting lease on the property exclaimed "Man, where have you been! The crows have been working these fields and i'm afraid they are cleaning o...

I live in Kentucky and just getting started hunting crows. I have a fox pro spitfire with the bob Aronsohn sound pack, I also bought 6 crow decoys and an owl decoy. I have set the decoys up about 20-25 yes out with the come here call. So far we have had 2 or 3 crows circle overhead but none have come within rang...

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. Awoke at 6AM to find overcast conditions and a stiff wind from the northwest. Perfect crow hunting conditions. Loaded the truck and off like a flash! Quick...

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. All you have to do when putting your deek up is stick the plastic spike into the pvc. I have black tape all the way down my spike that helps with t...

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...

Is the foxpro snow/crow THAT much better than their compact calls? What electonic call do you recommend?

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. (Not for crows anyway) Last week I was on my favorite "Wood duck honey hole" when several crows flew past harrassing an owl. I called to them with my voice and a few turned back. For Woodies at that c...

Crow numbers are starting to dwindle likely due migration. Busted 21 crows early off in the morning but still plagued by clear windless conditions making for tough hunting.

I ask the local population to offer up a volunteer on behalf of science. I plucked and measured a crow and the best I can estimate the total body, neck, head, wings and legs in sq inches is around 22+. The "volunteer" weighed 18oz. That is if he is sailing into the decoys and is overhead with win...

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. Dusted about 40 odd crows before 11:00. All with a 16 gauge as they played in on the breeze so nicely that I almost felt sorry for them. D...

It's a pretty involved process - but he's been painting and staining with me for many years, so the sanding and staining and varnishing he's got down.
