I spent the entire day scouting my spots. My numbers are not here I found one area with quite a few birds but my main roost is not worth shooting as of yet Someone from up north has got to send me some birds. Harvesting is in full swing down here and what few birds I have are scattered. Everybody else on this site is busy hunting crows and I'm still waiting for my season to start. 10 days and a wake up!!! Start sending them south fellas, what are you waiting for???????????
took my daughter out on her first real crow hunt today,(up until now she had shot 1 crow on a lousy setup a couple years ago) I figured I owed her a decent hunt to get her hooked for life.
ended up with 33, SHE GOT 23 of them!( I batted clean-up) not bad for 16 years old, she was pretty excited to say the least
the set
the blind
she showed me that she can kill more than just ducks,wow, good memories made today, great way to end the "regular" season

Hi Glen I'm just the opposite. I find a small concentration of birds and the next day they are gone. Combines are going balls out 24/7 here. I think the food is so abundant that the birds are just scattered. I'm hoping that is it. One thing tho,,,, My roost that I fed off of last year just doesn't have the birds using it. I don't see the high flyers headed in to it yet. Our temps are gonna plummet 2nite and stay below normal for 4 or 5 days. Maybe that will bring some yankee crows my way It's gotta get better it can't get any worse. I am a little worried tho I have 10 days and a wake up
Thats a nice shot of you & your daughter. I'd hire at least two body guards for her 24-7 with the way she looks! I'm quite sure she loves dear old dad! Too many parents today get so wrapped up in just trying to make a living that they spend no time with the kids. Your daughter is lucky to come from a good family.
