The New Hampshire Crow season started Monday and of course we got hard rains.  Rain stopped yesterday afternoon early.  It was slow but I managed to kill 2 out of a group of 7 or 8 that came in screaming immediately after I set the decoys out before I had turned on the caller. My usual partner joined me after he got out of work and we killed two more between us.

This morning we hit a mowed field at the edge of some corn.  The big ol' 10 bores roared and we killed 17 between us in about 45 minutes, we left and both made it to work on time.

Shooting 'em like it was done in the 90's.........1890's that is.

Thanks 8, you recognize the difference between Twist and Damascus or just a good guess? When does the season start in your area?

I did not know there was a difference between the two. I have always heard them called Damascus twist barrels. What is the difference?

 

Season doesn't start here till Nov 5.no

8 The gun above has (Fine English) Twist which is two bands of metal, iron and steel, twisted together and hammer forged over a mandrel. Damascus is 3 to 5 bands of iron and steel twisted together and hammer forged. Twist is simple black and white stripe whereas damascus has man different and often fascinating patterns.

Shane, todays blind was standing behind the first row of a cornfield with our decoys in the cut hayfield in front of it. Nothin fancy but very deadly.
