So, got a call from a land owner who has a nice stand of pecans and also does a little farming. He plants about a 1,000 acres and his place I have named the Oasis. It sits down in the hills and is a major attraction due to the food source there. I did not get to hunt it last year due to deer hunters not wanting...

The first photo was taken in October of 1974. The second photo was taken in February 1975. All in Reno County, then Boyd took me over into Stafford County where there was another huge roost in those days.

I shoot a old M1 that has several barrels. When I bought the gun many years ago I got it for turkey hunting so I chose the 24" barrel. A few of years ago I bought a 28" barrel for it specifically to shoot crows and pigeons. I have patterned the gun with both barrels and and the patterns are about the same with a...

Dale and I got into a pretty good bunch at a pecan orchard. It was tough shooting but we ended up with 192 KIA. Most of them are in the sled / boat ( see pics )although we had quite a few flame out up to 300 yards away & didn't get retrieved.

Finding shotgun ammunition this year is pretty bad. How are all of you fixed for this season in regard to shotgun ammo ?

I have little doubt that I am in the majority here on Crowbusters patiently awaiting that special time of year, the time of year we all hold near and dear to our hearts.

Back in the day I used the old standard owl but now use a redtail hawk to rile them up. My thinking was in all my years of hunting and fishing I've only seen crows mob an owl once but I have seen them mob red tail hawks multiple times. I use the same hawk predator hunting also. -- Edited by Nastygunz on Monday 1...

Some of you on here may remember me from times past, it has been quite a while since I have been on the website. For the past few years I have been pretty obsessed with predator hunting and kind of faded away from crow hunting. I was out in the garage doing some cleaning and I was looking at my crow decoys a...

This is Kyle from St. Louis who toured the museum today. His kids loved feeding the chickens in the backyard with their mom. We had a wonderful time talking about the history of that grand sport we call crow hunting.

To get into your spot before the morning crows are flying? Would you consider it a waste of time to hunt if you couldn't get to your spot before sun up? This would be just shooting local crows, wooded farm country.

If you will look closely you can see some of these birds carrying their PHD's around with them.

Rob is holding a 33 1/3 record that Bert Popowski gave me in 1976. It is perhaps the last one in existence of him demonstrating how to blow the fighting call and the distress call for his customers. He sold them in the 1940's and 50's for five bucks. Rob is also holding one of the crow calls that Bert sold dur...

Here are a few photos of an outstanding field hunt a few days ago with my partner. We figured this spot was good for a few hundred but were surprised to almost double that amount.

On the afternoon of 26 Feb. we hunted some inbound crows. They came in well and provided soft shooting until late, when the 10-15 mph wind dissipated. They then stayed high and the shooting slowed up and was tougher. We had 72 down, the sun had set and we began to pack up when we found a piebald near the bli...

Hey all, Our season ended yesterday here in MS. I got out a few times this year but only had one good (for me) shoot. My season got off to a rough start as my blind met an untimely demise by a 12 foot brush mower.
