Do you measure pattern percentage from outside of core to outside of core? Or from farthest flier to farthest flier? I have always used farthest flier but it may make more sense to measure the core of the pattern. Anyone know for sure which is correct.

I didn't want to hijack Skip's thread on shot size in regards to long range shooting but I think this relates to the topic. What criteria goes into consistent success at long range? How far do you lead them? Shot and choke size? How do you judge distance? I know I have a comfort zone determined by the size o...

This subject continues to be of great interests. We have discussed it before but shedding more daylight on this issue will be worthwhile. Just note above, I said "killing a crow"...not a duck or goose or turkey. Here goes.. Shot size is a bigger issue than choke constriction on being able t...

All this debating is informative and fun. I say put a 28 gauge in Skip Woody's hands loaded with any shell you choose and he would out shoot most of us with any gun we own. As I have said it is more who is shooting than what they are shooting. Again some good info, but no one will change their ways will they?

Hey Guys, being relitivly new to crow busters I hope this topic has not already be covered.. Can anyone help me identify the decoys in the pictures? My neighbor gave me these several years ago and he said he found them in his mom's attic. Thanks a lot! Mark

I had about given up on crows for the moment; our big gang using a landfill has broken up and I presumed that most of the birds were paired up and mating. Took a trip to the river bottom during the afternoon and saw about 40 or so feeding in a field. Returned at daybreak yesterday and killed nine in a howli...

I know this topic was brought up before, but I forgot. I picked up some 12 ga. 1 1/8 oz. 3 dram 1200 fps estates, 7 1/2 and 8's. I did a quick 5 minute R&G mainly to make sure they would eject. Killed 2 and did some rapid fire tests. No problems. I reload, but I get lazy and pick up cheapos for back ups. Anybo...

When looking at shot size diameter, 7&1/2s are exactly halfway between #6s and #8s. So why the 1/2?? Kev <><

Anyone know anything about this gun? Is it a good crow gun? Is $550.00 a good price new? Pros? Cons?

37 years old now and I've been hunting crow since I was 14. I've killed thousands but I'm still not calling myself an expert. What are your thoughts on overcast days for crows? Its cold and plenty of snow in Michigan. I made 2 sits this weekend. I could hear birds but they did not offer shots this weeke...

Thought we had access to a private farm last Saturday but when my friend called the owner he said no because our point of contact wasn't going to be with us. So we headed to a Virginia WMA nearby.Tough when you are just walking in and setting out the decoys without knowing the place. We still had a great aft...

After getting into crow hunting and loving it, I have a new found interest in all nuisance animals and trapping. I am researching trap types and sets for beaver and nutria. I have lots of access to healthy populations of these. I know several of y'all hunt yotes. Just curious if any of y'all trap or hunt o...

I broke a thousand today!!! I needed 19 for a total kill of 1000. I shot 35 times and killed 22. Pictured is the lucky winning customer and then a few of his buddies. This is a total 1000 for all the hunts I have been on with the other hunters included as we haven't figured out how to keep track of individuals...

I had an awesome season, my best ever. I don't suggest EVER setting a goal for yourself if you are the least competitive. I made a statement in September of 2010 that I would kill a thousand crows this season. I had bought the CS-24, a new MAXUS and worked evening shift for 6 months. My numbers during Novem...

I recently purchased a mojo wounded woodpecker decoy and used it last week. I had a few crows come in but was wondering if the flapper type is more effective. It seems the flappers wear out much sooner than the spinner does. Both "Busters" died after only a year of use.

I had killed 5 and the crows stopped flying. We were trying to get Savannah a crow. She has been trying to kill one all year. She had only shot once this morning as she is very tentative and waits to long to pull the trigger. We got out of the blind and walked around to pick up a long bird and stretch our legs. Wh...

I went to a new spot in the southern part of the State with my buddy today for the last day of the season. OH MY GOD, IT WAS MY BEST CROW HUNT EVER. I beat my best crow hunt from last week of 103. We shot a 141 crows in 4 hours. My girlfriend is going to help me post the pictures tomorrow when my buddy emails the...

Any of you boys east Tn boys? I got tons of duck hunting buddies but crow hunters they are not. I have some pretty good spots and would welcome somebody to come along. Right now its just me and knobby, and our time off doesnt always line up.

I have been looking at some of the crow hunting film clips on U Tube and am not very impressed at all, most are between dreadful to very poor in my opinion.
