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...

Just got this photo from PP - he tore my Savage .223 down and rebuilt it from the inside out, and camo'd it for me... Thanks Pup! I can't wait to take it out!

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...

I had a 1 hour window to bust some crows today... so my daughter Abbie and i went back out to celebrate her 4th birthday.

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.

What is the average distance a crow will fly from the roost everyday?While I know so birds travel farther than others, what would an average distance be?I am trying to find out where the crows come from everyday so I can change locations.

Well, we went back to the same spot we shot over 100 on Wednesday and I had my 2nd best crow hunt ever. We shot 77 but all but around 12 of them in an hour. It was sunny today so we shot most of our birds in the last hour till sunset. I wish we would have found this spot earlier in the season. This put us over 5...

This is a summary of a study posted through Cornell University about crows. Thought some may find it interesting, especially the part where they documented that individual crows in a flock in feeding areas change daily. So each day there is a good possibility there will be new crows in a given area. Lo...
