Recieved a half dozen Boondocker crow decoys about a month ago and finally got a chance to press them into service. I am not usually a person that has to buy the latest gadgets but these deeks seemed so practical and simple. Further, I am one that believes in keeping things simple for best results...

I worked up some loads last night for a friend and myself to shoot squirrels. These are 1 3/8 oz of 5's at 1200 fps. These patterns were fired from Benelli M-1 with factory Imp. Mod. choke at 40 yards. The circle is 30". Four of the five were consistent and the one low count "is what it is". I...

Hello all! I have recently been given permission to hunt a few properties that are in dire need of some crow elimination, and my girlfriend is showing interest in going and trying it as well. She has little firearms experience so I believe the shotgun will be a good start for her. I have a 26&quo...

Dick Mermon lived on the south shore and my family lived on the north shore of Long Island, New York. I remember a story told to me by a state game warden that went on a crow hunt with Dick Mermon when I was starting out. The wardens name was Stanley Grum and there is a photo of him in Mr. Mermons hard cover book...

I have been looking at Alliant's 20/28 powder. Do any of you that shoot the old guns use this powder because of it's low pressure? and if so do you have a 1 3/8 ounce load for it. It is similar to IMR's 7625 in pressure but has a sightly lower charge weight and is about 25% cheaper. Looking at all the info I can...

I am seriously considering reloading. I have been looking into it and can't find a down side. I am looking for some ideas of loads. I am not looking for exact recipes as each gun will pattern differently. I am looking for 4 general fields of info. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A SHOT SIZE FIGHT! Don't make me pull th...

Hello Fellow Crow Busters, My daughter Abbey and I got out on a crow hunt on Friday so I thought I'd give a quick trip report. Weather was brutal...80 degrees at daylight and it got hotter fast so it was a very short hunt. No field pictures this time I forgot the camera...I did take one when we got h...

Are they worth the money? I have about 2 dozen full body decoys that work great. Just wanting to add more movement to the spread....if it works good. I mainly hunt in pecan groves and peanut fields. Also, what do you use to clean your decoys. Mine have gotten sorta dull over the years.

A friend and I have been hunting these tricky birds for a little under 18 months now, and unfortunately no crows.. The first time we went out, we had one 5 dollar plastic call and he was in his black snowmobile suit (kinda stuck out in the snow.. lol). Needless to say we didn't leave with any birds. Crows:...

I have been wanting to hunt for months now. I tried yesterday evening and called in just 1 crow and as usual he was 50 or 60 yrds up. Buy the time I walked over to the next ridge I was soaked from head to toe and my glasses were fogging up! It was a short walk and not very steep. I love crow shooting but I cant d...

I just received a mint condition (full box with 25 rounds) old Peters box of 12 gauge ammo.

Boys,,,, I recieved some boondocker decoys last week. I won't beat around the bush, I was shocked when I opened the box. These things are made of indestructable plastic.

Im looking to order a foxpro caller today or tomorrow, if I can't decide today. I want to get a reliable caller I can use for waterfowl, crows, and coyotes that will last for a long time.
