Title: Callin coyotes over crow decoys
Post by: FinsnFur on October 28, 2007, 10:29:41 PM
Anyone ever try it?

I had a brain fart tonight when I was rummaging through the shop and noticed Kyle helped himself to my crow decoys. Thinking about setting up a few them near a stand when calling?  :shrug:

No need for decoys in my area because I have the real things circling or sitting in trees on about a third of my stands. Some days it is better than that. Just like ravens in the west, crows  dont hurt. Seems to add to the story.
I encourage it .

Yeah the crows are usually the first on the scene here too, but I figured a few decoys would give the crows that much more confidence, which in turn would be passed on to the coyotes  :eyebrow:

What I hate about the crows benig around is they are so noisey I can't hear Mr. Wiley coming. But they do add to the realizing of a stand.

Never over crow dekes but I have hunted with a turkey decoy.   Worked too.   We constantly find feather bombs were the coyotes have nailed a turkey who got too close to the brush.

I think the crows give the coyotes confidence.  Crows have exceptional eyesight, and if they dont spook, I think the coyotes feel safer.   But it sure doesn't take much to get them to spook around here.   

If you ever try it with Browning204 though, be prepared.  He saw a few land in a tree over my head one day and opened up with his Wildlife Tech caller and I thought I was in a rerun of Hitchcocks "The Birds".   Darn crows were squaking and crapping all over.  I had to run for my life.

Maybe that's why he was running. Hawks usually have a bigger payload  :laf:
