When there's nothing left to hunt, there are still crows. Here are four tips for
busting blackbirds, along with
a look at some top gear.
1. To bring crows in close, add a rabbit motion decoy to your spread and mix crow
rallying calls with a few high-pitched rabbit-in-distress calls.
2. When setting up in the woods along a field, call from the highest point around. Crows winging in at treetop level will be at eye level as they pass over your spread.
3. Crows aren't difficult to bring down. No. 7½ and 8 target loads will give you sufficiently dense patterns and less shoulder-pounding recoil.
4. While ear-blasting volume may be good for drawing crows across a great distance, too much volume will spook wary birds when they're in close. Drop it down a few decibels as the birds approach.
 Calls: Clockwise from top right: Knight & Hale Magnum Camo Crow; Top Gun Magnum Crow; Primos Old Crow; Quaker Boy Crankin' Crow; Hunter's Specialties Hammerin' Crow |
