Have this one myself.. Find it a mighty job as long as you stay hidden!

Where I knock them there is an 'ol castle and have knocked 40-50 in an average day.. They tend to swoop down on the farmers young kids eating the lunch in the garden.. Under derogation I can knock as many as I please

where there is a good few of them in a wood etc , they try to mob the decoy, ask any falconer about mobbing.

I can say your dead right
When I'm out with the hawk the crows do try mob her when we're out huntin if she lands in a tree their at her but when they can't see her and their on the ground shell try go for the kill on a crow
I had a magpie swoop in on her while she was flying and she's 3 times bigger than the maggie
Fake owls do work well but using A fake hawk will work better and puttin a crow on the feet will be better
This is a good video on decoys

I wasn't hid or anything or wearing any sort of camo but if i was hidden they would land beside me or practicly on me. Mags were going crazy in distance but i was out of their territory. As soon as vidoe is uploaded i will post it on this

If any of you are interested I have been selling an instructional cd that teaches you how to blow a hand held crow call. I also go into what the different calls mean as I blow each one. It takes time, you are not going to get good by just practicing on an odd afternoon, but if you stick with it you will get so much pleasure from calling "your own birds" into your setup.

I also have two DVD'S on the market on crow hunting. "The Art of Crow Hunting" has a 551 bird crow hunt. This DVD has a lot to offer "if you pay attention to the different setups" on decoy placement and blind (hide location) location.

The second DVD is called "Crow Shooting" and has several hunts where anywhere from 300 to 447 get shot in mid air.

If you are interested you can go to the educational section over at Crow Busters and find these products. They also sell decoys and all sorts of hand held crow calls. Just go to www.crowbusters.com they will ship anywhere in the world.

Fox Pro Game calls in the USA is another very good company to do business with.

Sincerely,

Bob Aronsohn

I just got done watching the film clip "European Crow Calling Instructions" that Hedzball posted. The guy had a nice presentation, but the sound he was making for European crows would call common crows here in the states as well.

The sound does not come from your gut to get that good crow calling sound, it comes from your diaphragm. You have to push the air up from your diaphragm by squeezing your stomach muscles.

I wish he would have blown some call sequences instead of just blowing one note. He has a good sound from the little I heard in the clip.

In one of my dvd's on crow hunting you almost see a crow fly inside the blind with me calling him.
