Crow Hunting Tips

[hunter1254]

Does anyone have some crow hunting tips they're willing to share?

We used to use a wounded rabbit call....don't shoot the scout....let the whole flock come in.....
Dead Crows make great Decoys

Don't dress like this.

Get yourself a Johnny Stewart crow in distress, feeding call they work great. This can be obtained in either CD or cassette tape and you can use a boom box but keep the volume low if its too loud it won't be as effective. Plastic hollow crow decoys, great horned owl decoy. Then make yourself invisible until they come in over you but don't shoot the first one in that will be the scout.
good luck

THAT is the way to do it. Electronic calling rocks.

What guns and ammo are you guys using for crows? I was using my 870 26" bbl. w/ full choke today and I had a heck of a time bringing them down. I was also using 7 1/2 shot, 1 1/4 oz. Remington Long Range Express shells. I had feathers flying several times and only brought 1 down. It was a looooong day. Anyway, I was just looking for input.

Put in your modified choke and use some remington #4 shot high brass. Knocks the stuffing out of them. Don't buy the Express mag. shot just regular 2 3/4 #4 shot usually with a black shell. Not too expensive compared to the Express Mag.

Here in Mchigan i have found a little trick that works great tha ti haven't seen others use to much. Instead of using decoys I use a large spot of red on top of the snow, spray paint, ketcup, a red rag may even work as i have not tried, but a large red patch to look like a blood stain from the air, then use either a mouth or electric caller. it works great around here, carefull using spray paint as it not the most eveviormentlay freindly.
