First shoot of 20011
Permalink  
 


Dick & I setup along "Slaughter Creek" on January 2nd, what a way to start the new year is all I can say.

We shot 589 crows from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The wind was north west at 10 to 20 mph that afternoon. I used the Fox Pro CS-24L unit. Dick shot 329 and I shot 260 that day. Here are a few action photos from that afternoon.

Photo # 5 captured the action pretty well.

We got a break and started 2011 with a bang!

We were 3 miles south of the roost and the birds started to move by 1:30 p.m. They like to follow that creek in a northwest breeze.

Dick carried all my ammo as I still have five more weeks to heal up from a broken rib.

I will post up a few more photos from that shoot in just a moment.

Hey Bob,

What's sticking out of your blind in photo #3.

Hello Mike,

Those are "Sun Stiks" that we made! In any north wind you have the sun to deal with, mornings are the worst! We can raise and lower them as the sun goes up or down during the day! Keeps you in the shade so you're face does not shine, thats why I never have to wear a face mask!

Bob,

That's a new on me and I like it. I can't count how many times I wish I had one of those sticks.

Keep piling up those big numbers.

Mike

Hi Kev,

I like that one the best myself because it captured two birds in the frame, one getting hit, and one about to be hit!

I love to capture the moment if the birds are working in real well. In photo # 3 you can see how low some of them were, you could have used a 410 on a lot of them that afternoon.

That's awesome Bob, the only time I see 500 crows from my blind is when I'm dreaming. :)

That sun-blocker of yours, is that just a camo netting wrapped around that pole?

Thanks for posting the photos.

Kev

Hi Kev,

Yup, nothing fancy, just don't make the camo to long. 12 to 15 inches long by 12 to 15 inches wide will be just about right. Get a bungy cord to wrap it fairly tight so the camo does not flap in the breeze.

Hi Jared,

Breaking my rib last month did slow me down but I'm not out. I'm feeling better with each passing day Jared.

How you doing this season?

In photo # 3 you can see that crow boaring through the timber and he can't wait to dive into the fray to join the fight!

Photos #1 and 2 show the CS24L 30 watt Krakatoa speakers. This is a slick unit and as long as you carry two sets of AA batteries you can go the whole day with plenty of volume.
