Hey guys! I'm new to the boards so 1st off lemme say "hello". Second, I'd really like to try out my hand at crows. I don't know the first thing... I'd appreciate any tips & Tricks, and any websites or books to read up on the subject. Or if i can get the down and dirty here, where can i find it?
Thanks in advance!
hemi,
Welcome to FnF. We are glad to have you here. There are several members here that seem to take "crow hunting" rather personal. I don't know why and am afraid to ask. :biggrin: Anyway if you go to http://www.finsandfur.net/forums/index.php?board=4.0 you will find several posts (only one right now of the first page I think) relating to crows. It also might help if you give the area of the state you live in - Northwest Ohio, etc. so if there is a member in the area they might be able to take you out with them. Right now the season is closed in Ohio, but it will be back shortly.

I just remembered this place http://www.crowbusters.com/
Howdy and welcome. I'd have to agree with Jerry, Crowbusters has alot of tips and tricks on there.
I dont put up huge numbers but I do manage a few birds each outing. Staying well camofluaged and/or using a blind is a main objective.
Them birds can SEE very well.
I work a hand call along with electronic, alot of the great gentleman here sell good sounding, well made hand turned crow calls.

Welcome aboard Hemmingway
yep i agree with above the crowbusters site is pretty good
howdy Hemmingway, crowbusters is the site to learn some good stuff....what silencer said, camo, dont move, mod choke, 7 1/2/8 shot low brass, thats how i get it done. I use a FX3 electronic caller and a Jack Mincey crow call. Nailed 2 today in the frozen tundra of NH lol. It is addicting and a blast...usually in the Fall season I use the owl decoy and crow decoys too. Not sure where your at regionally, but corn fields and rivers are crow heaven. I use locator calling for crows just like turkeys, ill drive around stop and listen for them, if i dont hear any ill blast a few calls out the window to stir em up, if i hear em then i get out and set up quick, good luck!
