Finally got around to adding the other speaker to my homebrew. It is SSSOOOOOO LOUD!!! I turned it on pointed at my kids and they grabbed their ears and just screamed as loud as they could but I couldn't hear their voices. The new speaker is still wet in the pic. It is mounted in a way that will allow it to swi...

I talked to Skeetshooter last night and there is a good chance we will get to crow hunt a farm this weekend. Our season has been closed since Feb and wont open back up till Nov so this is a welcomed opportunity. The farmer just planted a contiguous 1000 acre corn field. They said the crow were trying to ligh...

My nephew and I bagged a new record total of 657 crows for the crow season just closed in Virginia. All of the crows were bagged using the run and gun method using # 7 1/2 and # 8 shot with improved cylinder chokes in 12 gauge guns. We used Remington Nitros or Sporting Clays loads. The great majority of...

Wow, our season ends this mid-week so I planned on hunting yesterday, temps in the mid 20's with the wind around 40mph steady and much higher gusts. Still the same temps and wind today. Crow hunting is over for me until August........... Kev <><

Gentleman, I have hunted crows with quite a few folks and sometimes show them the size of a crows ear. Seems nobody realizes how large a crow's ear is. I am sure some of you have checked it out before but I thought it may be interesting to some of those who had no idea.... I plucked away the feathers surrou...

Anyone have a favorite brand of aftermarket tubes? I shoot a M-1 Benelli if that helps. I am looking for a good full choke at least but would not be opposed to buying a set if a good one is offered. Do you like the extention type that are ported?

My family and I spent the weekend at our old home place this weekend. My uncle went down and cut the grass Friday and it was to windy to do any control burning so all that was left to do was shoot stuff! I spent all of Saturday shooting clays and patterning. My kids got to shoot all they wanted also. The kids ar...

In physics, an inverse-square law is any physical law stating that some physical quantity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity. Sounds like a mouthful don't it! This law, fortunately not made by morons in Washington, D.C. is actually eas...

So New Jersey's eason is done and doesn't reopen until August. I have a notion to go to the WMA's a few times and set up some decoys and practice calling them in. Any downside to this, such as accidentally educating my eventual pray that I set up dummies that waste their precious crow time?

It's been awhile since I visited or posted. Been busy on a sheep farm that wants the coyote population reduced. Wiley things won't give me a clean shot. Seen a pure black one twice. It was huge.

In the very early 1950's my father used to hunt a lot of crows in New Jersey. He was friends with the local game warden and sometimes they even hunted together.

I went out to our local WMA today and shot my first round of sporting clays. It is a really nice facility. They had golf cart to use or you could use their bag carts.

nhcrowshooter · nhcrowshooter

Well we were curious too. Remember the old adage more is always better? Seems to not always work that way with shotguns. Which shot size runs out of pattern density as range extends 6's or 7.5's? Logic would say the load with far fewer pellets, testing proved something different. The following t...
