Yea i do but not as often as i use to because i started bowfishing in the off season. as far as tips go, get within a couple hundred yards of the crows before calling. also remember to always kill the first one. he is kind of like a scout. if you kill him more will come.

ok thanks! hey also i bow fish to! but i havent got any thing yet.... well thanks for the tips!

I do it but not like most people. We go to cut cornfields and set up in the woods around 150-300 yards away and shoot them with rifles. They are good practice and when your that far away they dont get too scared from the shot.

lol im gonna use either my 12 ga rem 870 express mag or my 20ga rem 670 YOUTH express mag wat you guys think? also im gonna use a turkey choke !

I use a 223 AI or 223, whichever I have with me that day. PA there is no season for crows so you can shoot them year round. Lot's of fun and practice.

we got into it last winter and i advise against the turkey choke. we had best results with around a modified choke and 6 shot. had some cripples with dove shot, and my old left over duck shells seemed like overkill. I agree shoot the first one, but heck just shoot everyone that comes within shotgun range. i rigged up my own ecaller, but had just as good success by sneaking within a few hundred yards and mocking them with my mouth call. brings em in close. Next year ill be trying a bigger decoy spread (6-12) and a flapping wing deke.

IT IS A BLAST

well i know there is no season here in michigan and well wait it said that its like from september to sumthing i think but we can shoot them if there being Annoying or causeing a health hazzard!

RE: Crow Huntin'
 

Wow, they changed that, up until a few years ago they weren't considered game and there was no season.

RE: Crow Huntin'
 

I shoot crow with a pellet rifle. by using a pellet rifle there is no noise to scare any others away.

RE: Crow Huntin'
 

that might be a good idea! with a pellet rifle i might get that GAMO air shotgunits like 200 bucks lol but ya also if you have a owl decoy out there and shoot one crow the others will go and try to attack that owl! a good set up i would try it!

In Minnesota the official crow hunting season is March 1-31, and July 15th to October 15th.

There is one big loophole in regards to crows. The MN DNR claims if a crow has damaged your property, or is about to cause damage to your property, they can be taken.

Sounds good to me!

In the past i purchased some recorded tapes and just played them througha cheap tape player. They worked pretty well. Now i just use a mouth call. You don't have to lug around a bunch of gear and it's easy to get the crows fired up. It's also pretty easy to replicate injured/fighting crow sounds. Sometimes i throw in a few decoys. I use a modified choke with 6 shot.
