Rotary Magnet Decoys
(Preview)
I did a search and did not find any previous posts on the rotary magnet decoys. It seems they are mostly used in the UK for pigeons, but they also have a crow version available as well.
Does anyone use one of these setups and if so how successful are they? Does anyone sell the rotary magnet decoys in the Uni...

Season's First Hunt
(Preview)
Went out with a friend to hunt in a pecan orchard near the house. We hunt this orchard every year and, although small and surrounded by a cluster of residential homes, it is usually a solid place to hunt. This morning was somewhat slow, but the weather was perfect... 63 degrees to start with no wind. Th...

An Aerial Treat
(Preview)
While out in the yard a couple days ago, I heard some nearby crows suddenly give the warning/alarm calls, so I turned around. To my delight, I saw a small group of low flying crows that included one locked in a death grip and tumbling with a Red Tailed Hawk! They were twirling around about 30' off the gro...

Crows strafing decoys?
(Preview)
My hide was in the edge of standing corn and I put 20 feeding decoys 20-30 yards out in a freshly bailed hay field. I took a length of bamboo with a flocked full-body decoy on top and stuck it 5 yards to my right, on the same edge row of the corn as my hide. Like a perched sentry. Electronic caller stashed in wi...

This season in MS
(Preview)
I thought I would post a few pics of my hunts this year. This first one was my best hunt since I've learned how to do this. It took place at a farm about 30 minutes north and was a new place for me. The farmer was kind enough to ride me around in his truck and show me potential spot to hunt. I ended-up doing a m...

Went out this morning with Larry The Master Machinist (really, he is) to see if any uneducated crows were lurking about. Went to a place we had not visited since 2020. Of ten within reasonable range we got six. So, a good hour + for us. However, there were many educated bandits which were up in the stratos...

Hey all, We spent the month of February and into March battling wary crows. A lot of half days with kill numbers in the mid twenties when with cooperative birds, three or more times that could have been had. A bit frustrating, but still fun. Our best two hunts were 79 and 97. The latter, a cold late Feb....

150 crows was the average per hunt this season.

That is 150 between my partner and I. Went out 15 times this season. The last two seasons have been off years to be sure! I shot my 170,000th crow this season (my lifetime total) and finished with 170,809 crows. I can tell that I am not as agile as I was 10 years ago. Father time catches up with all of us if we...
