Crow hunting is a blast. We use reloaded shotgun shells filled with 5 shot and that will take them down at 70 yards easy. BB seems big for a crow considering its size but hey whatever works they are a tuff critter. Its nice to get out when nothing else is going on and keep the shotgun skills true.

My buddy and I finally got out for the first time this year and as always it was great. We started at 9:30 and did 3 sets, we quit at 4:00 and ended the day with 24 birds !!

So i get this right, You don't need a licence to shoot crow. You just use them for target practice. As far as weapons, I just bought a SW40VE hand gun and was looking to shoot it. I also have my permit to carry, Can i bring my hand gun and shoot it in Carlos avery?

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

well you can carry while hunting no matter what with or without a permit. As far as in carlos I believe you can have you one but don't hold me to it.

There is no "target practice" or "indescriminant shooting" on public hunting area's. Shooting your handgun is target practice.

Crow Hunting, is hunting, not target practice. You may feel it is, but try hunting them once and you will see the difference.

Yes N_g has a good point I have been out four times with a owl decoy and crow decoys. I consider my self a decent hunter and only have one crow to show for my efforts lol

I am extremely efficient with a handgun.. very..

I have shot 1 crow with a handgun in my entire life.. and it was on the ground.

If you are attempting to hunt crows with a handgun, good luck to you and I hope you are ready for a dissappointing day... because it just aint gonna happen.

try selling that to a CO on public lands and I am sure you will make the laughs page they post every month on their HSOforum.

Hunting crows is extremely challenging.. its not target practice.. thats prairie dogs..

I just bought a new pistol and will be bringing it with when I go crow hunting. I use many different types of calls for them. I also know that some of the calls that I use will and can bring in yotes. It hasn't happened yet but I know its possible for a yote to come right in and find himself feet next to me and at that point thats when the pistol comes into play.

way to go chomp! keep on smashing em! i read on crowbusters. com each one you kill saves at least 6 other birds lives !i can believe it when i seen em going in woodie nests and coming out with little ones i was convinced! what calls are you using? i always start with the owl /crow fight if that dont get em coming i always switched to crow revelle by j stewart on the same set and man it sure worked for me! i to recomend joining crowbusters.com it s worth it just to read there responses to hate mail it is hillarious! let alone all the tips and tricks.

Well we got out for 1 last time this morning for a total of 12. the morning started out great every bird came diving right in for a fight, but the last three sets only got us 3 more birds. My 11 year old had a blast he almost shot a whole box of shells.

Trolloni I normally start with a gathering sound to keep it mellow and after we shoot a few I will throw in a few death crys and mix in the fighting sounds. I have 3 fighting sounds crow-owl, crow -hawk, and just crows I will try all of them and find out witch one they like the most. Sometimes its the crow-owl and sometimes its the plain old crow on crow. I have found out that after shooting a bunch of birds in the same spot if the birds quit comming in I will shut off the call for about 10 min. and re-start with gathering sounds and so on. It seems like we will get some more birds to come in after a break. I have the fox pro digital so its easy to change up the sounds from 1 to another at the touch of the button.

I cant wait for 2nd season july 11th young dumb birds lookin for a fight that have never heard a gun before. Caw-Caw-Caw!!

[PmDavis300]

where do you get those automatic callers?

[Tom7227]

just do the google for predator calls or look around at Gander, FF, Cabelas.
