20citori20 Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 Hello friends from abroad. Its been awhile! I moved across the state (Ohio) and had a little problem finding the web page on my new Internet service. Would like to hear about some of your pigeon hunts since the last time we spoke. I have not hunted any pigeons since then but have scouted the new area for prospective sites. This area doesn't hold the number of birds I became accustomed to in western Ohio, but there are opportunities. So, any fantastic days afield since last July?

Cranfield Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 20citori20, nice to see you back, we wondered how you were getting on, with the house move and settling in. :( You have some interesting reading ahead of you, to catch up with whats been going on. You will notice some more members and a couple of new forums. Good to have you back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20citori20 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I did some reading to catch up a bit. Noticed a little more info. on crow hunting. I have a good number of crows in the area. I have already been invited on a crow hunt as a matter of fact. It was 10 degrees with 15-25 M.P.H. winds (you'll have to convert that yourselves). Little uncomfortable for 10 to 15 shots. They seem to wise up to the gun in short order too! I've got a lot of typing to do to become an "Ace." I'm curious. Once you achieve such rank, do you ever miss? :*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I think the "Ace" that William bestows upon us, has more to do with our "Chatting" ability, than our marksmanship. Did you shoot your crows from a hide, with decoys ? Some of us treat crows as a "by-product" of pigeon shooting, but some of the other lads concentrate on them, at least for part of the year. "Take your shooting where you can", is quite a good motto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20citori20 Posted January 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2003 Hmmm? My response from yesterday doesn't show up here. I probably put somewhere it didn't belong! Well, I'll try again. I didn't hunt crows; I set up about a hundred yards from my buddy with goose decoys. They were hunting over decoys and using farm machinery for a blind. They also used an electronic caller. They shot a few, missed a few more, but did better than me. I remember asking if you folks have had any experience with the West Nile Virus in your birds. Primarily crows.
