MUST...............................................................................TYPE...SLOWER............................................. :eyebrow:
Senor Silencer, we didnt see much inland in the fields and woods much so we focused on the river systems and corn fields and found alot more birds....when all else fails a good gnarly old dairy farm with feed all over and cow sheet and plowed up dirt is always a hot spot....i saw about 20+ birds on a pile of cow flopper, drove right by in the corn field, would have made a great stalk using the corn for cover, no pun intended :biggrin: ( get it Jimbo? ..corn+stalk?). :roflmao:..hehe, BUT they were pretty close to some prize dairy cows so that was a NO-NO...
Cow Flopper.................. :roflmao: :roflmao: :laf: :roflmao: :roflmao:
meadow muffin, pasture puck, holstein pancake..... :biggrin:....there are many variations for the cow flopper....hell when i was a kid growing up in VT they were our only toys :yoyo:

EEEEWWWW! And I thought I grew up poor! :laugh2: :roflmao:
I figured since we havent hunted them in months, and the young are flying around, we'd see more :shrug:
Damn parents must be teachin them, maybe its time to change blind locations lol.
They will become educated to those blind locations. :wink: Switch up & hit em from a new angle. :eyebrow:
I went out tonight after work in the corn.....had no luck...took a break then fired up young crow, had one bird come in all by itself...all fired up shot 3 times dropped him on the last shot....that was weird one single crow in those huge fields :wo:

Isn't that what usually happens? I mean why would you keep firing? :confused: :eyebrownod:
You guys making fun of me in here? :confused:
Making fun WITH you sir!... :wink:....Heres a pic of a "crow" tree, you set up, crank your call quick and loud, shut it down, sit and if they are anywheres around, they will come and land in the tree....BANG!...you find these stop-over trees by watching the crows alot...then capitalize on their habitual behavior. If im tree hunting I leave my semi shotgun at home and take the .22 or .17 if its safe to shoot in the air, if not I take my Mossberg 835 with Polychoke cranked to Xtra-full, #6 shot and pop the crows out of the tree. I have a whole string of these trees memorized they are like a good field or den tree.

Yeah, because they are higher then the rest putting the crows above the obstructions :innocentwhistle: :laf: :laf:
A good shotgun pattern, and a guy should be able to whack about 5 per pull.
I bet ive knocked a cord of wood off those trees shooting into them for about 5 years :hahaha:
One of my all time favorite stories in the The Varmint Hunters Magazine was about a guy that set an e-call under a tree similar to that one. As they would land in the tree he'd snipe 'em off. :biggrin:
I believe he goes as Crow Sniper on Crow Busters.
