Wow.....I havent's been on the forum in quite some time, and did not realize that the old Forum was replaced. This new one looks pretty good.....I think it's great so far.
I didn't get to hunt crows as much as I would have liked to this year, but I have been shooting a lot of pictures of mostly wasterfowl. Photograpy has been a big hobby of mine for many years. I was playing around a couple days ago with my Fox Pro caller (in the front yard), and bringing some bandits in close enough to snap a few shots with the camera. I thought I'd post a few for you folks to take a look at.

Mr. L. Duck..what make, model of camera were you using?. What megapixel? Exceptionally good pics! Maybe you should be a Pro-photographer, if you aren't already!
Excellent photos LD, makes me want to bring out the camera more often, maybe more then the never I do right now. I have to agree with Bob, I think the first picture is the best, looks like a hawk swooping in for the kill.

KenCrow......Actually I shoot with all Canon bodies, and I also use several different lenses, depending on what my subject matter is. All these shots I believe were taken with the Canon 7D using a Canon L series 300mm f/2.8 lens. I been interested in photography since I was a kid. I taught it in school, and had the photography club for a number of years when I was a teacher.
I sure want to thank all of you guys for the very nice comments you posted. I truly appreciate the kinds words.

Excellent photos and perfect lighting. Now I would love to see a photo of the same quality just as a shot pattern meets a crow

Ooh! Yeah! Me too Ted. I wanna see that one.
There is a video of a slow motion clay target with the shot swarm passing through it. Think you could get a still shot of that with a crow? Just kidding.
I want a video of a crow with his head all the way back against its back, wings folded back, and one foot peddling like it is on a bicycle. I saw that a few times last year. He looks like mike tyson just delivered an upper cut to its chin.
