RE: Crows
I call crows often and it is fun for a decent afternoon.
1. Do you prefer hunting them over a field or in timber?
Answer: Depends on the area and time of year. After they pick a crow field, or spread manuer crows land more often. Later afternoon hunts tend to be in the timber because they are heading to roost anyhow.
2. Do you prefer an electronic call, a mouth call, or a combination?
Answer: I always have my electronic call with me, and it is almost always on. If crows are quiet for the day, I will turn it off and hit the mouth call a few times (thought it rarely works).
3. Do you prefer fight style calls, rally calls, or a combination?
Answer: I usually use "fight" style calling. We have snow during the majority of the crow hunting season. This leads to my main technique. I will brng the ole' bottle of ketchup and get a good spread of "blood". Set out three decoys surrounding the "blood" and it sets up a fight seen.
Crows are much smarter then people credit them.
