Every year I usually do one or two crow hunts in Oklahoma on public land after all other seasons end and have posted them on the forum the last 4 or 5 seasons or so. I work it out in such a way so I can involve my dog too. Due to family in the hospital I missed those hunts this year, so I had to catch up now in the Sp...

I will always believe it has more to do with the shooter than shot size, gauge , gun, action type ,age of the shooter or their firearm or any other factor. Bottom line , if someone is a good shotgunner, they will hit more targets. It doesn't matter if it's clays or crows or pigeons or any other target. If so...

I have been crow hunting for about 12 yrs now and have mastered the art of replicating the sounds of the crow on various calls that I use. All my buddies say I should find a competition if theres one. I was curious to know if any of you guys know of a competition in the U.S that is for crow calling?

Wow.....I havent's been on the forum in quite some time, and did not realize that the old Forum was replaced. This new one looks pretty good.....I think it's great so far.

Learned a lot on here and internet this first season, and saw some interesting typical crow behavior (e.g., sentries, scouts, etc.). But, does anyone know about their flyway and roosting patterns -- do these persist year to year, or do they create all new every year? In other words, can I count on cr...

I stumbled across this cave of vines last week. It is about 10' across and 6 1/2' high to the top of the dead tree. It's in a small clearing on private property. I hollowed it out a bit and draged some more vines across the front. I just need to build up the front higher and I'll be done. It is a little tough to s...

Went to Gamaliel's website today and saw the Remington rebates are back. $2 per box up to 50 boxes or $100. With Nitro 27's at Wally World here for $6.27 per box, I can't see a down side to that.

The powers that be tell us a 30" circle is to be used in patterning a shotgun. When we hunt birds, there are plenty of kills from a fringe hit or out of the 30 " circle that you may believe you were centered because the bird fell. I wanted to see what kind of pattern distribution was in a 36" ci...

Well it came in! After a quick trip to Bass Pro for a few components I loaded a few shells. I loaded a handful of 7/8 oz at around 1225 fps 12 ga and they shot very well out of my Mod 1300 and my M1. The loader is a used mec 650 so it doesn't re-size the brass but both of my 12's eat them just fine. As of now, I don't se...
