my buddy calls me up yesterday and asks if i know anything about crow hunting my response was "yeah some people do it"
he calls me back this morning and tells me he bought a call 2 deeks and an owl so out of curiousity i go hunting with him today.
we go to first spot get set up with the crows above the owl and turn on the call after a few minutes a couple crows start coming in but the call shuts off and they leave. we get the remote for the call get set back up and have 2 more come in but they circle just out of range.
next spot we get 3 to come in but the roost in a couple red pines about 100yrds away and just sit there looking at our stuff then move to some oaks a little farther out and call a bit but dont come into range at all. finally we get one to come in a circle within range and get it.
this is the first time either of us had done this. yesterday he ran into the crow busters website while surfing thought it sounded like fun and a good way to get ready for grouse season so he got some tips.
we were in full camo well concealed and used the challenge call untill we got a call back then we used the crow/owl fight call. when they start to leave we use the distress call.
any idea what we were doing wrong, or maybe just picked a poor area?
