My local scout contact told me he saw hundreds of crows in a pasture the other day and noticed many others flying over going in the same direction. We back the next day and saw a steady stream of birds headed in it looked like the same direction. I have never shot a shoot on a roost path. Where do I need to set...

I have never owned a double barrel shotgun. So I need assistance on choosing. The last few years I have been doing much more shooting with the shotgun, crows, ducks, geese, skeet and sporting clays. At the range, I see lots of doubles, especiallyover/unders which I have no interest in. What I have int...

Well, I could not get anyone to go with so I had to kill 18 by myself. I would have done much better had I switched to IC choke to start with. I had been using a diffuser choke but really started on a roll after going to the IC. Got 3 doubles and then went home. Would have done much better if I would have had the set...

Retail stores love Black Friday, if they have one. This conotation implies that this day is their best day of sales, and profit, of the year. In business, "in the black" means profitable. It will be interesting if you dudes will post how many crows you killed on your best "black friday...

I was out on tuesday with two friends. Managed to get 29 crows. The weather over here in Northern Ireland is unusually warm for this time of year. I have also included photos of a few magpies I shot with my .22lr.

I hunt the farm I manage it is about 1.9 miles long on a fairly large shipping river in TN with rocky bluffs of hardwood forest across the road and river with the river bottom on both sides being cropland. I always have between 50 and 300+ crows on my farm daily. At almost exactly 2 pm every day I can look aro...

Howdy, Pistoleros- I'm new to the forum and happy to be here. In my old age I'm learning taxidermy - I would like to try doing a couple crows - problem is I won't be able to do any hunting, at least for several months so I'm trying to get my hands on a couple birds, hopefully in fairly good condition. I'm told t...

Had a really nice morning. We started off shooting well and continued till the wind picked up. I moved closer to my partner and it was on again. We worked hard trying to break a 100 but finally called it a day at 11:00 AM with 95. The land owner was very happy. This is a pic of the setup after we cleaned up. The...

First time poster: Just got into crow hunting about a month ago. Here in TN we can only hunt Fri., Sat, Sun. Great hunt this morning, set up the decoys in a field by between two barns and an old wet weather pond with some rock bluffs and hardwoods across the field about 1/2 a mile and the Cumberland River at o...

Any suggestions for anything special in the way of collapsible poles for hanging up decoys? I know about the big box stores with their painter poles and such, but I'd like something better. Thanks Chuck

Have a few crows that are annoyingly loud around the neighborhood. Wondering if there is a sound that I can play through the car or house speakers to scare them away. No guns allowed for foreigners, inside city limits, no slingshots, air rifles, and no backstop for rocks.

I just got back from out of town today and had a very productive crow hunt. The first day all I did was scout from sunup to sunset. The next day I shot 161 crows from 7:30a.m. - 9:30a.m. then went out that afternoon and shot 340 crows from 2p.m. - 5:30p.m. I used 546 traploads for the job, and the total for the d...

I haven't been hunting much but scouting more. I located a staging area yesterday,several hundred birds. Lets just say They picked the safest place in the world to roost....

Just to show everyone that not everyone in Kansas can shoot like Bob, lol. I hunted a little last year but nothing serious so this was my first so to say serious hunt. 15 isn't many but it is a start and I feel like I learned a lot. I can not seem to find a big concentration of birds so I just run and gun. As the day...

I took my oldest daughter this morning for a little outing. She shot 8. She did very well considering last year we hunted all season and she only killed one.

After leaving work a little late today (12:15) I was totally ambivalent about going crow hunting.

When I pulled in...

Though they get little or nothing in the way of work on my excursions, I like to take my dogs along when I make my feeble attempts at crow hunting.
