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.

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?

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.

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!!

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
