The blizzard kinda sorta blew my plans outta the water  :pout:.  I had planned on doing what I read on the forum, what with the decoys, call[open reed and do my best] and all the neat stuff I've learned.  However with temps below freezing and miserable winds since Friday I was not doing that and freezing to death just to eat some crow :nofgr:.  So as time crept slowly past and I knew I had blew my chances at winning the prestigious, coveted and clearly in my grasp FnF Crow hunter of the year award.  I saw one coming towards me while sitting on the computer an hour ago, I immediately hoped this is the varmint that has been cawing outside every morning as I was now hunting.  I grabbed my trusty gun and snuck around the side of my house and dumped this guy at 40 yds.

Well done Al but it looks like Vic won the contest and for that I'd like to say congratulations :yoyo: :yoyo:.  Third place seems to be my lot in life and I'm happy with that as it sure beats carrying that stench from a black and white striped animal around with me  :laf: :laf:.  Anybody have a pattern that could be used to cut decoys out of tar paper with.  I'd think you could cut the pattern and then just staple the bottom in a tube type of configuration :shrug:.  I know it would be cheaper than going out and buying some Chinese made ones that I might or might not use once :madd:.

I was not a happy crow hunter this year Vic. There weren't many around for most of the contest. Then at the very end I found some. I had to work on that Saturday & Diane had things we had to do on Sunday. So I went on the last Friday of the season & found a bunch of birds in 2 different spots. I came home & got my crow gear ready. All I had to do was pull out of the driveway in the AM.  :yoyo: :yoyo:

:doh2: Season had ended the weekend before.  :doh2: :doh2:
