RE: crows in the rain!!
Crows cost millions of dollars a year to farmers.
Calling them is fairly easy, however if you put up an owl decoy and start calling near some cover you could get into a "crow frenzy", this is where they absolutely go nuts and keep diving in on the owl even while you are shooting.
Eliminating these will make you a farmers friend for life.
Forgot to mention, crows absolutely hate owls!
