I wanted to shoot some crows with my 20 gauge 870 so here are a few photos from that hunt.

I just love the fall of the year.

Fine lumber on your 870 Bob. IMO life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun. Very straight stock, must be deadly on those overhead passers. Thanks for sharing.

The whole month has been solo except for a few hunts. 1,662 crows were shot in October and of those 1,418 were mine.

Talk with you soon Ted.

Great pics and, as usual, big numbers!

What, pray tell, is the blued steel item leaning up against your blind in your last  photograph?

Hello Phil,

That is my sun stick; it has three prongs at the bottom to stick into the ground so the sun is not in your face!

Hello Wingmaster,

I don't shoot the 20 gauge near as much as I once did, but I still like to give it some action early in the season. I like it because it's very fast handling, made several triples with that gun when the birds would come into the setup in formation. Plus the 20 dosen't make the noise a 12 bore does, but all in all the 12 is hard to beat under most conditions. I just used a 7/8 th ounce load of # 8's out of that full choke 20 gauge 870.

Hello NH,

Your information is interesting, but to me the 20 gauge still sounds softer than the 12, especially on a day with light wind conditions. If your info is correct then there is a difference in the sound of the report between the two different gauges that makes the 20 gauge sound not as loud as the 12 bore to my ears.

Thank you for taking the time to post your information.

Bob A.

Hey Wingmaster,

I was reading an article in the NRA Magazine in the barber shop today about the Stoeger 12 gauge model 3500. It is very similar to the Benelli semi auto according to the article. It got very good reviews.

Let us know how your new auto did on November 3 rd.

Bob A.

I shoot a 16 quite a bit. I too find its report not as disturbing to following crows in calm conditions. 1 oz. 1165fps loads.

Hey Ted,

I was going to go get my ears checked lol.

I don't like a calm wind condition out in the field when hunting crows. 10 to 15 mph or 10 to 20 mph is what I like as it blows the sound off if your setup right.

So are all your crows gone by now?

How did you make out up there in Canada this season on crows?

Bob A.

Bob, do you have more info on your FOXPRO setup? I haven't seen one like that before.

Hello Jason,

That is the Sno Crow Pro unit that foxpro sells.

I tested the very first proto type for Foxpro in that model in the field about 6 or 7 years ago.

They are not cheap, they run close to a thousand bucks.

Bob, my fall was OK with the crows. I shot just shy of 400 during September and early October. Couple hundred in the spring and summer as well.

Our fall was very mild and most of the days I could hunt turned out to be "bluebird" conditions which knocked the body count down significantly. I like a bit of cloud and as you stated a good breeze keeps them coming in on an honest and predictable angle.

Crows have for the most part all departed, most are gone by mid October. Few die hards in the cities and towns still. Had a couple decent duck shoots and big game season starts in a few weeks.

Talk to you later.

Ted

Wow, I would pay hard-earned money for a chance to be on a shoot like that.

Hi Jon,

Just broke down and bought a new Nikon 35mm camera with a good telephoto lens to capture much better action shots later this season. This sucker goes up to 500mm in magnification.

Here are a few photos of the yard that I shot yesterday.

Hello Shane,

Thats a good report, how long have you been using this firearm and how many rounds do you think you have shot through it by now?

It's a very secure feeling knowing you can depend on your equipment!

Keep us posted.

Bob A.
