Old Territory Revisited, Jan. 14, 2012
(Preview)
The group was limited today again by uncontrollable events (Funeral) so my hunting partner and I thought we would travel South to "pig farm country" to see what was cooking down there. We have not hunted this area in a couple of years because it seems that the birds only show up there afte...

Beginner Help...
(Preview)
Crow hunting here in Maine is starting on the 7th and I can't seem to become comfortable with my calling. I've been practicing but then I would see where two different guys say they are using the "comeback call" or something and each guy sounds completely different. So each guy has differen...

Hunting the Peanut fields, Feb. 10, 2012

Skip is one of the co-founders of the A-Team and Chris is our youngest member. Skip if anybody follows crow hunting can get it done on both ends, Calling and...

Round Two
(Preview)
After getting home Friday afternoon I was beat to say the least. A two hour round trip drive and a hard day of hunting. About 7:00 the phone rings and its one of my other A-Team partners. He said how about in the morning and I said "WHAT". Coming off my cold it would be tough. He said we have...

The Call
(Preview)
Got a call from one of the A-Team members last Wednesday and he said he could not go on Saturday but how about Friday. He said he found a flock feeding in a peanut field and he had gained permission to hunt there. I was coming off of a bad cold and this was just what I needed to get me over the hump. I picked my...

Innocent Until Proven Guilty
(Preview)
I have to be the only crow hunter in history to have been pulled out of the woods from a run and gun stand to answer to a Highway Patrolman. True story: The A-Team was in a county that we were not familar with the local highway laws and we had spotted a flock of crows feeding in a nearby field that we could pul...

Jan. 20 & 21
(Preview)
I had a chance to go for two days last week so I will combine the hunts. The A-Team was split into three groups on Friday. We all had promises to fill with people wanting to see how it is done. Friday was the day all crow hunters live for, light winds with overcast skies and 50 for a high temp. The birds cou...

Splash One Video's
(Preview)
Your video's are cool and the gilly suit seems to work. We took a guy a few years ago who wore a gilly suit and after three run and gun stands in our southern briars he left half of it in the woods so tangled he literally had to be cut out. A North and West thing for sure. I give you an "A" for putting...

Jan. 7, 2012
(Preview)
The A-Team was split this day. Family issues only allowed a few hours for two members to hunt. I headed out to our local landfill where we can always find the smallest of crows, the rain crow. They do not decoy or come to the call well, but they will come at a longer range to check you out and if you can make...

It was good to gather the A-Team back together for our first assault of 2012. It was a perfect day, moderate winds and overcast skies. We only made six stands all day, Friday Jan. 6. We were lucky enough early in the morning to find a flock of birds feeding in a peanut field that was surrounded by a large...
