By the way Sam Cobb, thanks for the laugh. I needed it. My father-in-law is a ex-postman. He would get a laugh as well.

crow hunting is a good way to get out side and warm up for duck hunting. I found this web site i haven't been there for a while, but it should have good info for you.

all youll need is some dead or rotting animal if youre allowed to bait them come back in an hour or so and shoot away

i do the same as chris carpenter up top, i find it a great way to practice for duck and goose season and beleive it or not i actually got a band from a crow last year and will never forget the confusion i felt when i picked it up haha

Am I crazy or do they know what a gun means? If I'm not carrying a gun, I can get within range easily. If I have one, I have to try very hard.

I've had good results w/ a handheld call,1 decoy or none. the most important thing is to be still,& fully camoed. place yourself in brush,weeds to break up your outline,but don't get in a position that you can't move to shoot.

Wally, I lived in Alaska for 5 years, they also have RAVENS, whick are also black but much larger. I did not shoot them they were fun to watch, Ptarmigan no challenge ,they will stand there and wait for you to shoot them, but its and easy meal ticket EH?

I havn't gone hunting for crows but one weekend up at my camp i saw one perched in a tree with no leaves on the branches and i had gottin within 50 feet of it before it fleww to the next tree so then i went grabbed a pellet gun as that was all i had and i tried to get close and it flew away before i was 40 yards away so i sat ther for about 15 minutes and 3 more came by and landed in the same tree and luckfully i had a scope and i shot at one and i hit it dead on and all it did was fall 3 branches and get up and fly away i followed him thrue a feild for about a half hour before he flew wer i couldnt follow but i didnt kno that crows wer tough enough to withstand a pellet gun shot and i hit him right in the chest.
