The New Hampshire Crow season started Monday and of course we got hard rains. Rain stopped yesterday afternoon early. It was slow but I managed to kill 2 out of a group of 7 or 8 that came in screaming immediately after I set the decoys out before I had turned on the caller. My usual partner joined me aft...

I was hunting crows with Charles on Thursday. We were in the woods, big tall oaks. We got a few to come in and busted them. I was suprised to see the white feathers on this crow when I went and picked it up. I have seen one or two before, but have never shot one. Like an idiot, we jumped on the 4 wheeler and left it...

Charles and I just got back from crow hunting in northern Maine. While sitting in my truck at a stop sign, there were 5 crows in a mowed field no more than 20 yards from us. (Couldn't shoot, house right there) Believe it or not, 2 of the 5 crows had white wings, exactly like the one I shot and posted the pic of....

Out here in Kansas the temps have been between 102 to 105 degrees outside for the past week. We got a cool spell today, it only reached 96 degrees! This is where a good Man Cave comes in very handy. Bob A.

So I am very prepared this year. Northern New Jersey is not the midwest and we don't get the kind of volume the rest of the country does. I have to go to a WMA to do my hunting and I have to take what I can get as far as areas of operation. I learned from this group that crows have a real avertion to tall tree surrou...

Crow season is fast approaching in Kentucky. I plan on using a hand call and see how this works. I will be using a .17HMR and sniping as they land in old snags and hopefully in the field by my decoys. Does anyone know of a site where I can learn more about the different calls a crow makes and what each call mean...

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.
