How to Call Crows With Crow Decoys

Crows are a challenging bird to hunt, but with the right crow decoys and calling techniques, you can be on your way to taking your first crow.crow decoys There are many variations of how to call these birds and every veteran crow hunter has their own special technique. However, there are some basics that all crow hunters should know, especially when it comes to using crow decoys.

The most common method of attracting crows is to use a decoy flock that mimics a real group of crows that is hanging out. This will trigger the curiosity of the crows and they will come to investigate. The next step is to call the crows in with either hand calls or an electronic caller. Electronic callers are easy to learn and produce a variety of sounds that can be difficult to replicate with hand calls. This makes them a good option for beginners to start with.

Once the crows are in close proximity to your decoys, you can make them more excited with loud growling sounds mixed with high pitched screeches that will tell them they have found prey. This will bring in a large group of crows that are riled up and ready to fight. If you are hunting in an area that has a lot of predators, you may also want to add some fighting crows to your spread to distract them from the raptors and get them so fired up on fighting their fellow crows that they won’t notice if there is a hawk or owl flying nearby.

When all else fails, you can try a crow in distress call to get the crows’ attention. This is a series of quick “CAW-AW, CAW-AW” sounds at a medium volume. This will tell the crows that there is something they need to investigate, and they will be more likely to come close and be killed by your gunfire.

A crow in distress can be one of the most frustrating calls to master because of how fast the crows will circle the decoys. This is why it is important to place multiple crow decoys in your spread, and to set them at different angles to create the illusion of movement. Lastly, you can use a call like the Final Approach Crow Flyer to get the attention of the crows in the air and bring them into your kill zone. This crow decoy is fully flocked for increased realism and has an oversized body that makes it easier to see from longer distances. This crow decoy also comes with a wind directional pole cap and hanger to allow for easy setup.
