Last hunt of the fall season
(Preview)
Ran one last hunt yesterday after running into a big bunch of crows during our early deer season here in Michigan. Didn't do as well as we hoped but it was a lot of fun and we learned a few things as always. We had a couple times I should have done better but I had a melt down at one point. I had a couple float...

My red letter day....
(Preview)
Saturday was a good day. We set up between a Hedge/Treeline in high grass and a field that had been freshly fertilised with cut up vegetable waste from the harvest that had been going on - looking west. The evening before we had seen 200+ crows in the immediate area. The flight line (confirmed by...

Just a reminder

We are going into the 2012/13 N. American crow migration and I wanted to remind you guys of the "Link Dump" forum located further down the home page. This is a great time to sharpen your hand calling skills, and the links have many great sounds to listen to, mimic, or put on your eCaller. Knoc...

The A-Team just gets better and better with age. I use to ask one of my managers at work how things were going in his department and he always replied "like a well oiled machine". This is what the A-Team is all about. Put us in crows and we will produce! I am proud to say these guys are my close f...

Early Pattern Developing for upcoming season
(Preview)
Every night at about 7:30 for the last two weeks I have noticed a flock of crows building in numbers from feeding to roost over my house. My blood pressure is going up as their numbers increase. All nesting is over now and the new fledglings are joining their parents in their journey to everywhere. Lo...

Who takes the shot?
(Preview)
Ok, question for you.... when you hunt in pairs or a group, and a bird comes into range....is it a free for all, or do you take turns? Like many hunters I got into crow hunting to extend my hunting season..and since you hunt them very similarly to ducks I was hooked when I dropped my first one. What I don't li...

Lethality of a shotgun - (It's heresy to Bob A.)

It's about ducks but I believe all living things are are killed in the same manner. It contradicts a long held theory that shock to the central nervous system without a traumatic wound to an organ will kill. I posted this on the other site and it was deleted shortly after by Bob. Apparently discussio...

Proper Attire for the Occasion
(Preview)
We talk alot about concealment in the crow woods. Blending in for the proper hide to me is the most improtant element of crow hunting. They usually do not shy away from what they do not see. This past season my good friend Skip took this picture of me standing in a pine plantation. Even though there ar...

The shot shell of choice for crows

This subject is one that has many different opinions. I have read time and time again that bigger is better. This is not the case. I was having a conversation the other day with a buddy that said he knew a guy that was using 3.5" #6 loads in a 10 gauge shotgun to shoot crows and his reasoning was that...

Did you see the balls on that crow!

I witnessed something today that goes against everything I've heard about how crows behave around birds of prey. While at the neighborhood pond fishing for panfish I was watching two crows off in the distance fly toward me from left to right. As the crows crossed the 2 acre pond side by side they elivat...

The North Carolina season has come to an end. Taking the last day of the season off of work is like taking your birthday off, just feels like the right thing to do. We really did not have a good place to go, so we decided to hunt a few spots that we had hunted earlier in the season. Even though we had let thes...
