Hello all, my area is infested with crows. Not that they bother land or anything but the constant "cawing" gets quite annoying and I would like to clear some out. I'm not a fan of shotguns and only use them if the game I'm going after requires it (doves, quail, etc) one could say calling crows could require it but I have seen many articles in the past of people taking crows with rifles I also have done this, but 9/10 times when this happens it's a chance encounter and the crow lands in an area where a hunter has that shot.
From what I've read most crow hunters go about calling them into a specific area and just hammering them with high brass 12 gauge shells. But I'd like to call them in and maybe have them land and take them at atleast 100 yards mainly to build up my accuracy I normally use squirrels for pre deer season practice but lately it seems I can walk 5 miles without seeing or hearing a single one. I know rifle hunting crows is possible I would just like some insight from someone who maybe does this a lot or has in the past. Mainly what calls you use (ecaller or hand call, if ecaller what specific sound) and if you use decoys or not. I'm definetly going to try decoys but on the other hand I've seen a lot of down talk on them.
Thanks everyone,,, Jaycob.
