I’ve always done some crow hunting growing up in south central PA and when I lived in MD. After moving to NH I hunted them but not much. Last year I went out several times but still not real serious about hunting them.
Well back in January I bought a FoxPro caller. I decided after last year with the help from a friend thunderchicken re-lighting the crow hunting fire, I’d get after them a little more this year. We had some really great times out chasing the crows and for that, I thank him for taking me along for the ride. I got out a total of 9 hunts in the 16 day early season with 3 of those hunts being a big goose egg because I still had years of rust on my wing shooting. I’m pretty pleased with my crow numbers but could still use a lot more work on my shooting.
My total was 33 crows, with 2 shared crows, 4 MIA/lost crows and 2 doubles. There were a ton of missed crows that I personally thought were “chip shots” and a ton that I had no business shooting but felt I had to! I like to call those shots lane clearing
Anyways, I had some really great hunt with lots of laughs and feel I’ve accomplished something. I can’t wait for the fall and to see how the 2013 early season numbers stacks up to this year.
Thanks 8fish and BH It definitely was a lot more fun than what I remember growing up. Of course back then the call we used were our natural voices and decoys were the dead ones we gather up and prop up with a stick

This fall the crows are in big trouble.
