Default No leg bands..

One of my favorite time of the year the crow migration just ahead of the snow goose, they come on in on a string to the call.The Benjuiman Marauder 25 cal took the farthest one out at 72 yards. Autumn was not to keen on bringing them back to Dad, but she did..She starts boot camp this weekend (FF) at 10 months old.

Good for you Three!
What a great way to keep the dog in shape.
and not to bad for the shooter either I bet!
What do you use to call them?
Visual decoy of any kind?

I bet sometimes when they come in to calls it's absolute murder!

May as well practice on the black ones before the white ones start showing here shortly in better numbers. Good Job!

Default stinky crows

Good luck on the retrieving thing.....

Dogs will not pick, or dont like to pick up crows for some reason,
There is something about them the dog knows is bad.

No problem bringing back a goose twice their size....no go for crows though !!

Great work! I haven’t made it out crow hunting yet this year but looking forward to it. I’ve shot lots imaginary as I drive by them, the little ones are out now so I think next weekend I’ll try to get out.

Where did you buy your Benjamin Marauder from, if you don’t mind me asking?
