New Hampshire Crow Shooting Academy
 

I did a how to hunt crow seminar for NH Fish & Game Department this August. It went pretty well with about 20 people in attendance. NH Public Radio did a story (unbiased) and you can listen to here if you are interested.

Nice job Pete, I never knew that they landed into the wind. will have to set up that way next time out.

Good job Pete! Now that you are a media mogul, please tell us how you got that gig on NPR. Could this possibly lead to your own miniseries? It would have been really cool if you had worn your PGCA t-shirt for the seminar.:bowdown:

Thanks Daryl. I did the first crow hunting seminar for F&G back in 2006. That was picked up by an AP reporter who attended. That one made the Boston Globe, Atlanta Journal, Houston Chronicle, ESPN Online and some other outlets. This time a reporter from NHPR attended. I was wearing an NH F&G Owl Brook Hunter Ed Center t-shirt which seemed appropiate.

a few tips on crow hunting may be nessecary for some of us... charlie

I thought you looked more like John Wayne :rolleyes:


nice presentation, the large flock that hangs around here just up a disappeared, maybe they knew this post was coming

All part of masking one's identity :rotf:

I had a friend that was a big crow hunter !

This guy used to be my Grouse Hunting Partner as well , shot skeet and trap with him as well !

Anyway he was big on something that was totally illegal .

He liked to wing a couple crows early in the shoot then tie them to something close to where he was sitting . They'd raise hell for awhile then get quiet , he'd smack them with a stick and they'd raise hell again and each time the crows would come back in !

Kinda like the old market gunners with the pet duck and or goose .

Crows are a truly smart and wary bird. I used to hunt then as a young teenager and learned a bit about hunting in the process. The crows seemed to understand the intentions of anyone they saw. We could shoot out of car windows in those days and if a crow saw a rifle barrel sticking out of a car window they would be off before you could draw a bead. I did shoot ravens and crows by walking in heavy cover and shooting vertically at unsuspecting birds above. David
