"Dead Crow Use"
One of the finest uses of a dead crow (that is if it is not to be eaten) is as an attractor. When there are crows off in the distance that will not respond to the hand calls or to the electronic calling, stop all sounds for about a minute. Let things settle down for this short period of time. Then, with the hand caller begin a fighting call, screaming and sounding off as if all hell has broken loose, simulating that something is getting at one of the crows near the decoy set. Crows are a curious lot and they want to know about things, that’s how they learn the good from the bad. After about a minute of this fighting, screaming call on the hand caller, take a dead crow, which you should already have in the blind and toss it high in the air, outward into the decoy set. This will get the attention of the distant birds that refused to be called in before and they will want to know why their fellow comrade has fallen. They will want to know what that bird has gotten into or what it has found to feed on or fight with. As those distant crows begin getting close, tone the calling down but keep the fighting language going until you take the shot. Don’t miss, because those crows will not return again for some time no matter how much persuasive calling and dead bird tossing you do. |
