I am posting one at a time because this software does not take all of my photos.

Here is another action photo from the same hunt as above.

Here was a great soybean field hunt. The software on this site will not take my soybean field hunt photos, what a shame 640 of them got it that day!

The second photo they were "In Yo Face" and we made them pay dearly on that shoot.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for the help.

I see you too Bob choose low brush and shrubs to hunt from. Tall trees have saved many a crow...

It helps keep semi automatic rounds in close so no chasing them all over the place-how cool is that? 

 Don’t like picking up hulls?  Try one of these: https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/981148/mojo-pick-stick-magnetic-shotgun-shell-retriever?utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=bing&utm_campaign=Shooting+-+Range+Accessories&utm_content=981148&cm_mmc=pf_ci_bing-_-Shooting+-+Range+Accessories-_-MOJO+Outdoors-_-981148

Works like a charm...by far the best way!

Jason the first photo that you did for me was of a flyway shoot during the afternoon hours. Note how the blind blends in. The second photo was just a pheasant farm where they raise birds for the game preserves for paid hunting. The third photo was a great morning spot as soon as they cleared those trees "bang" and it's game over. The third photo was of my now defunct A-400 Beretta that I hope I never see again! Forth photo was of Dick on a picturesque morning hunt. The fifth photo was of the "big shoot" there were several hundred that crashed in the timber out front and to the left of the blind. We setup at a choke point where two flyways came together in the afternoon. One flyway was to the left of the blind where the crows flew straight down the tree line in to our guns. The other flyway converged to our right and many crows dropped in the in-harvested soybean field we were in. The only way to get a good photo is if I had a drone that could take photos from above. We had a good morning hunt of 239 that day and then an afternoon hunt of 401 which brought the grand total to 640 for the day.

Demi,

Dick and I use a pair of them. They work great with empty hulls in high grass. Plus they extend if you have to reach empty's on the other side of a fence.

Hello Ted,

Low cover = soft shooting as you already know.

The top photo is of me pointing out what soybeans look like. Crows love soybeans.

Thanks Jason.

Bob A.

Jason the boots I am wearing in the soybean photo I bought next to the café where you and I had breakfast together about 5 years ago. It's a big boot store.

Bob,

I did not upload the photos to crowbusters because they were huge files.  I uploaded them to a different website designed for photo hosting.  That site provides a link to the photos which you can then paste into a crowbusters post using the "insert image" button.  The button looks like a photo of a tree.  You cannot use the quick reply option, you have to hit "reply" on someone's post to get to the full post composing screen with the insert image button. 

Its pretty easy and I really like how the photos show up large VS the usual small thumbnail that you have to click on.  I should stop by and show you the next time Im going thru Kansas.

Bob, I will say, you may want to adjust the settings on your camera.  The size of your photos are HUGE!  I had to change the size before posting them here.  I think the size is why you were having trouble uploading them to crowbusters, other places you post your photos have an auto resizer.  You will also be able to store A LOT more photos on your camera if you scale back the size a bit.  Now, dont ask me how to change your camera settings, that would be like the blind leading the blind!  biggrin

Good hunting,

BH

Bob,

Oh yes, I remember that you bought some boots there. Its kinda funny, a couple years back I was at an estate sale up here in Michigan and saw there was a hat for sale from that boot store. I chuckled and remembered our breakfast that morning.

Here is a photo early in the afternoon at "the choke point" where the birds were following both tree lines in to our guns!

TC,

In most situations we drive right to the spot and unload our gear (blind, decoys, ammo and coffee to drink) and just go park the pickups when we get setup. Once in a while we have to hoof it in but you do what you got to do to get some shooting!

Jason,

Thank you for posting these photos for me.

The top photo illustrates some of the tweeks or refinements we have made to the inside blind design. Note the area where the muzzle of my shotgun is resting so it does not get hung up in the netting. Next is the way the shotgun is wedged between the two buckets so it can not be pushed over and have a potential accident.

My trash bucket for empty boxes of ammo and spent shells is to my left under my blue camera bag in this photo.

It's the little things that make a hunt more enjoyable like getting your ammo bag off the ground and in a place where it's easier to grab more ammo in the heat of battle.

The next photo I took of Dick in the very early stages of our afternoon flyway shoot. I thought those white puffy clouds made a nice touch in these photos.

Bob A.
