After 3 hours and several missed birds...we ended up with 2 birds killed and 1 that was blown from the sky, but some how got back up and flew away. Not good by anyone's standards, but the first crows ei...

Hammerin' crow call
(Preview)
I have seen on the web site that this call can be adjusted by moving the reed but I can't seem to figure it out unless there were two different kinds and mine does not move. I can't seem to get this thing to sound anything resembling a crow so if it can be adjusted maybe that's all I need. If someone could let me...

Audacity
(Preview)
Hey, I've seen several comments about how we use the same e-caller sounds all over the world. I have taken various commercial and non-commercial crow sounds and used Audacity editing software that I downloaded on line to mix up some of my own sounds. You can copy and paste portions to repeat, delete...

Volume question
(Preview)
A buddy and i have started tryin a new strategy that seems to be working pretty well. We get in the river bottom right next to the river and call down the river. Sound travels pretty well. We start off with fairly low volume trying to call in the closer birds first, then increase the volume picking up the on...

First Crow Hunt
(Preview)
So I went on my first crow hunt this evening where I always see a ton of crows in a cut corn field(the field was cut and tilled already). We passed a few crows along the road before we got there but saw none there. That didnt discourage me in the least as I was full of confidence still. I put out my dekes(3 flock...

Shoot the first crow?
(Preview)
Hey guys, First time posting on the site, but I've been cruising these boards almost non-stop for quite a while now. I've read a couple of places that shooting the first crow on the scene is a bad idea because he acts as the scout for the rest of the group and if you miss, the rest won't come near. Any truth to...

How many leave the blind to tidy up during the hunt?
(Preview)
Just curious as to the thoughts of others as to whether you let all downed birds lay till the hunt is over? Or do you retrieve long birds that may hang up the incoming birds? We generally just let them lay where they fall. In the last two hunts we have had odd situations where the birds were hanging up on dow...

He has a lead shot maker and makes all of his own shot and also ours. Most of the crows we have killed this year have been taken with his shot. I...

Flyway ?
(Preview)
Have permission to hunt a small parcel less than 1/4 mile from an active landfill. It is also an active flyway. Last year we would go out and set up before dawn and have a blast when the birds would come over and decoy in, the only problem was they would still be in a large flock. Bang, bang and it was over.
