The challenge of hunting Crow, equipment, and optical techniques
For many of us online hunting can be as challenging and rewarding that any hunting there. To constantly fool the smartest birds known to man, it's harder than it looks, but with this information and techniques may have sought an edge. The raven is one of the most intelligent and well birds are sighted. Obviously the first thing you do to hunt this magnificent bird is to locate them. I have found in almost 40 years of online experience quality hunting binoculars to help locate distant crows are a necessity. For the money, my favorites are the Cascade Optical Leupold, 8x42mm camo, which sell for about $ 300.00 or the Leupold Wind River Mesa, camo 10x50mm sold at around $ 220.00. Another couple I've used for many years is the Nikon Dream Season camo 8x36mm sold at around $ 280.00.
All these works very well for study their local customs in a given region. To see and study their flight patterns could be determined over the optimal site for the configuration of your lure. Once it is determined that you can use these routes "as the great ambush sites, such as crows concern given the migratory routes. In spring, when the crows nest and live in pairs (not groups), there is no real flight paths. When summer approaches and young leave the nest, the crows are in groups because there is no security large numbers. Now is the time to be modeled. As winter approaches form larger herds. At night the crows bring together the tops of the trees for security against their enemies, like the owl. These areas are concentrated referred to as the "house." Hunting a house in the fall and winter is the best.
Some people know, some not, that crows are mortal enemies with birds of prey like hawks, owls, eagles, etc. For this reason, a good set of lures like an owl or hawk decoy line mixed with decoys to fool prefers this bird. I found that plastic complete line of size lures are best. This type of configuration works well with modern electronic devices called remote speakers and as the mouth crowers calls us with more experience. My favorite bands are called "Johnny Stewart Crow fight against an" owl "Fighting Crows" "The Diana Cuervo", and finally the "Grito de la Muerte A Crow".
After being idle all night, crows are hungry and more aggressive in the morning, later in the day.They are ready to eat and FIGHT. Very often, at first light, can be drawn closer to an installation, shotgun start deadly range. In the course of the day may become more cautious and tired which means that the configuration, but will often be in the air and not be fooled into shooting range. With morning is always a great hunt, in line also can be hunted throughout the day. Locate a herd with a good pair of binoculars, then make his move. The concealment is mandatory. From an aerial view of the line will always have the advantage. full camo, including mask, hat, gloves and weapon camo is best. (Waving a gun barrel about as bright often send in their way out of shots.) Once shots are fired, the location and configuration is done, go ahead. Ravens are too smart to be fooled again there. For fans like me, moving to a new area of crystals and find more birds, its configuration, then prepare for more action.
Preference settings are sites that offer a thick cover for the concealment of humans without the obstruction of many trees on the head and extremities. I caught a chicken in my state that numbers more than 100,000 crows. Through my work I know exactly where to land. With definitive known routes I know exactly where installation on 1 / 2 mile away from the roost. My choice of this scenario is the thick interior would normally be put a big tree between me and the birds of entry, because you can not see me until it's too late and their hides my movement. A good morning hunting for me in this sector means about 100 crows will not come home tonight. Sometimes semi open fields can be great sites if you are setting a migration route.
I prefer the small pop camo, hunting blinds scored loose. There are sometimes very, very windy day, crows fly down to earth natural (at the gun range) to and from the roost. These lures are sometimes not necessary, must immediately find a hiding in these paths and good luck trying to keep full weapon projectile. As a wave comes and goes next is sure to be right behind. I had more than 1 1 / 2 hours without stopping shooting during these times. This is the exception when they have to get up and move, since they will use their migratory route, no matter what and the crows that have not reached there yet have not heard the previous shots.
For me, my Remmington Model 1100 semi automatic is an excellent choice firearm. When the action is hot a simple flip of the times activation of the pump action in my opinion. Of course I know that bombs are the choice of hunters, and must use whatever feels most comfortable. Crows are not the easiest birds to remove the sky. Calibre 12 has the power to me. Shot number four is my favorite size of BB since it has the power to break distances bones gives me a 40-50 advantage + patio. FULL CHOKE works best to keep the pattern set. A crow that comes at you is easier than establishing those who are trying to fly, but shot 4 will further in their attempt to escape.
The line can be found worldwide and there are a number them very high in the U.S.. If you've not yet experienced the thrill of the hunt online yet, do yourself a favor and do not require a big investment and it is an exciting adventure! If at first you do not succeed, it is likely to have been tainted by these birds wise, learning from experience and try again. With a good set about appropriate masking and should be very successful. Always remember to check the laws, regulations, and appointed seasons of his state and, above all, enjoy! Please include the younger generation with you in your online game to keep this tradition alive.
