Re: crow huntin

Crows have a goofy season in most states because of an agreement with Mexico back in the day when they were setting the laws on hunting migratory birds.

Ohio's season is closed now I think. It closes in the spring, but when it's open, I think you can only hunt them during the weekend.

It's weird, that much I know. I've never hunted them personally.

Standard tactics are to call them in, and a lot of guys use owl decoys. Crows hate owls and will dive bomb a decoy.

I like goin in the mornin, when they are leaving their roost and goin to get some food. Thats when it's best to set out some dekes in a field, and do more of a feeding set-up. Later in the morning or afternoon, get more dekes up in the trees, and maybe an owl or hawk, and do more of a fighting set-up, both will attract birds.

We don't have a season on them here, we just shoot them as pests. grin.gif

I really don't think it matters what time of day it is. I just go back to where I hunt them and sit behind a bank and call them with my Primos Power Crow and wait til they come in, then get up and blast'em! Sure is a lot of fun... grin.gif

We use my Foxpro 416B to crow hunt. We've been pretty darn successful with it too. I use the Crow Gathering, Crow/Hawk fight then the Dying Crow. Seems to work pretty good.

My dad with the first crow we ever took while hunting with the Foxpro:

Then the rest are of me:

We killed plenty of other crows too, but lost many to high grass.
