Default Crows

Do any of you guys hunt crows? I love a good crow shoot, but I have never heard anyone talking about it on here. If any if you have any experience with crows, I would like your opinion on a couple of things:

1. Do you prefer hunting them over a field or in timber?
2. Do you prefer an electronic call, a mouth call, or a combination?
3. Do you prefer fight style calls, rally calls, or a combination?

I generally hunt them from a blind in a field. I use an electronic caller for the primary attractant with fight style calls, butI use a mouth call close in. I keep the mouth calling to growls and soft, barking"caws". I use an owl decoy placed on a post 20 yards from the blind and 6 or so crow decoys hung in the branches of a tree 40 yards away, opposite my blind/calling location. We generally shoot the daylights out of them, but I am just looking for ways to improve. Any suggestions, opinions, questions, or criticisms are appreciated.
