The A-Team gathers at our local meeting place for our 5th hunt together of the season. This was to be a special event for us. We were to be joined by our close friend Kim that had traveled from Weyburn Saskatchewan to hunt with us for a few days. As with any long distance travel it has it’s draw backs. He had h...

Two hundred dead crows were recently found near LittleRock Ark. There was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows and confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu ... to everyone's relief. However, he determined that 98% of the cr...

The A-Team started its season on a good note. Last Friday was our first outing as a group. It was a cold and crisp 28F and the crows were on the move to find food. We had to ride a few miles to find them in numbers but when we did we made short order of them.. I do not know if age has anything to do with it, but I j...

So, had been using flocked decoys, but they tend to be easily damaged, and don't stand up to rain and freezing very well (they split), plus they cost £7.50 each plus P&P So, was looking on EBAY and came across an offer of 24 decoys for £48.00 including P&P which was too good to miss. So ordered t...

I had mentioned in one of my post about hunting in the fog last week. Really my first experience after 30 years of crowing of hunting in thick fog. I was curious about other hunters experiences crowing in the fog and how did your birds respond ?

The story of an otherwise successful hunt.... Got up yesterday to the soothing sound of falling rain at 4:20 to meet my friend at the place where we had shot 42 a couple of weeks ago. We were hunting a field that is constantly fertilised with vegetable farming waste. A really good spot that always draws...

I've noticed that in almost al, the USA crow shooting videos I have seen, not ONE, not a single one, has used a whirly, and very few use floaters. I suppose its because your crows are a migratory species, and you are constrained by seasons too,mso people can't be bothered to invest in equipment other tha...

I have a few fields that are very hilly, which makes shooting rabbits and foxes on them (despite the fact that are literally teeming) extremely difficult. So, I've bought one of these high seats, which will put me 17 feet high and give me a birds eye view of the fields. Ideal for my 17 HMR and 22-250 rem. ...
