Crow Hunters?

Anybody crow hunt? Its a crappy day with the rain and wind here so I'm online and bored. Anybody out there call the black aerial targets? A lot of fun with 12 guage pump or auto and high brass #5 or #6 shot.

Yes, I used to use 3 crows and 1 owl decoy in a cut corn field, with a crow/owl fight tape in my old cassette caller.

The owl is the crow's worst enemy, and they would hang around just to pester the old owl decoy.

Had some good shoots with this setup, until the crows spotted you...then adios for the crows.

Kind'a makes me want to go try em again!

I crow hunt all the time. I use an electronic call with a couple of decoys. Just remember never shoot the first crow that comes in, if you do most time the others will not come in. The first bird is a look out bird if things are o.k by him/her then the rest will come in. I usually use #6 to 7 shot. The owl is a crows enemy but I have better luck with a hawk decoy and or hawk vs crow call.

Haven't done it in a while but use to shoot'em with a .223, was pretty successful at it too.

I had a cousin that literally hated crows(Always wondered about him). It was because they had pulled up his corn in his garden every year. He hunted crows as much as he could. We made some silouette decoys and killed several. We had a Johnny Stewart mouth call that worked really good.

Me and my lil brother have heard my dads crow and owl tape so much as kids I can mimic the owl sound darn near perfect and he can do the crow screech. all our kids thank we are idiots until 15-20 crows fly over and land in the trees looking for the action. I have to admit we do kinda look/sound ridiculous .
