I stopped by the Hobby Store today to pick up a motor for my Buster II. My daughter and I were just coming in from a hunt and still in camo. The little gal that helped us find the motor and rang up our purchase struck up a conversation with my daughter about the camo. She ask if we were hiding in the woods playin...

Well I'm done for the season. Went out on 28 hunts and shot 4,762 crows, the shoots I shared with Dick bring the grand total to 6,574 crows. I don't have an exact figure yet on how many Dick shot alone this season. I know his largest solo shoot this season was right after I headed home after breaking my rib in...

Bob...NJ here. Hey guys, I finally joined and am sorry I waited so long. Its great to see others that are into crow hunting as much as I am. I enjoy it more than deer hunting. Been hunting them for over 10 years and I could have saved a lot of headaches if I knew about this site sooner. All trial and error, with...

It has been brutal here in the deep southern portion of Illinois. Most of the birds have gone south. What few are left have a Harvard scroll around their neck. While waiting for a reverse migration one needs to keep his shooting eyes honed With a little help from JR. and one of his road dogs that can alway...

Here is a new legal attack on lead ammo. I could not imagine I would be doing as much crow hunting if forced to use non-toxic ammunition. I suspect that day will come I just hope it's after I am gone. Is there anything more incongruent than giving our military "green" bullets? WTF their purpo...

Went out this morning with my buddy with the temp at and the windchill at -15. I never hunted crows in weather this cold but it wasn't bad. We killed 32 crows in the first hour and half of light but should have killed twice as many. We had so many layers of clothes on that we had an off day shooting. Has...

Surely some of you reload so what is a good load for crow shooting? I will be using Remington hulls and either 7.5 or 6 shot. (maybe some of each untill I settle on what my Browning likes best.

I live close to the Arkansas River and I've noticed lots of crows around my various duck/goose hunting spots. Has anyone ever used their boat to crow hunt sandbars on a river before? My plan is to load in, run the river to a spot, shoot some crows, run down another mile or so, shoot some more, etc.

Do you differentiate between the two different birds?? I only go for crow's myself as the Raven is a special bird mentioned in the Bible in Genesis 8:7 as the bird that Noah sent to find land. What is your feedback fellow "Crow Busters"????

I drove through upstate NY yesterday afternoon on the NY Thruway. Heading East a little west of Shecnectady I saw a large manure pile with many crows inbound to it from every direction.

I was digging around on Shotgunworld.com and found this thread in the FAQ's. Thought y'all might like to read this. I found it helpful. Q. How do I estimate shot spread at a given range?

I normally hunt a flyway within 2 miles of a landfill on weekdays. Results generally run between a dozen and 50 crows per trip. Went to the area this past Sunday and the crows were totally absent. I presume that the crows didn't use the landfill because the garbage was not present on the weekend days....
