I was beginning to think I was the only one who crow hunted lol well if it's really steep terrain get on top of a high point for starters. Full camo is not required like you'd think a camo shirt is enough. Let the call go for about 3 or 4 mins nonstop and if you haven't seen any listen if you don't hear them hollering move to another location. As for loads many people think there hard to put down and I use to be one but after spending 11 bucks a box on high brass shells a few times in a month I tryed 71/2 lowbrass dove loads and they kill em just a dead at the same ranges as highbrass and they kick less and are cheaper. I like the Remington little sureshot loads. This time of year they will come into the call but sometimes it takes a little bit to get there curiosity up. I love crow hunting if you got any question ask I'll be glad to help
