September 1st can't get here quick enough.

Just to let you all in on a little secret.  Instead of using the boat just for fishing try crow hunting out of it.  I call it shoot and roll.  Shoot a little bit then roll up the river.  I hunt the great Ohio and have never ran out of crows.  It's even fun to shoot the pigeons underneath the bridges.

I believe in Popowskis book "Crow Shooting" he relates to hunting crows along a watereay by boat.

See and hear them all the time on the Mississippi between Illinois and Iowa, would love to shoot them as they fly over me.

Was able to get out for a little bit. Man did it get hot real quick out in the field! Not shooting hot, sweating hot. Was only able to get one close enough. I thought the first shot got him, then I took a panic shot, and finally, the kill. Gotta love the 3rd shell biggrin

Pretty cool! What kind of camera rig do you use?

This last video I was sitting in tall grass on my swivel stool. The other was at a tree farm, one of my favorite places. I used to hunt in NC in the tall pines. I haven't done that since I left NC. As far as the shooting... you'll never miss a shot you don't take! I don't think I'm a bad shooter, but the video sure can make it look that way. Of course the best, or spectacular shots, are when the camera is off. I made shots on my knees, falling on my side in snow, and shooting as I walk. I can heard it now, where's that video?!?

I use the i-Kam video glasses. I had good experiences with them and they do have some quirks. Here's some info I posted a while back: http://crowbusters.activeboard.com/t53144821/i-kam-video-glasses-sample/

They were a Christmas gift a couple of years ago. If I would buy something for myself, I would look into the GoPro Hero line (http://gopro.com/). However, since I hunt by myself a lot, I need something that can follow me, eye ware video works for that, though as you can see in my video, only provide one perspective when hunting with friends.

OK, I recall your previous posting now. Still pretty cool. I see you were using the "bury yourself in the pine tree" method. Works here also when I'm in a hurry. I will go to the camera someday I think, except that my scattergun shooting is now still too embarrassing to recordbiggrin.

Nice.
