Best method for attracting crows?

    Been out with a mate lately trying to control crows in a local tillage farm. We always knock a few when we arrive but then they dont come back for at least an hour, then we knock a few again and the circle act starts again. I know you want them to go away, but they come back no matter what. Plus we want to get them to come back quicker for miles more sport. We do be in cammo and hidden from their view but cant get them to circle above, stay around or try come back in nice quick time. Waitng an hour or so for them to come back is just painfull.

    Just to add, we've been trying to watch there entry and exit to the farm and try get them there but they change everyday, unpredictable to say the least
    Any help appreciated

    An Acme crow call and a decoy, you'll be calling them in like dogs!

    Get yourself some crow decoys and a good electronic call and load speaker, draws them in big time!
    Also, if you start at first light you'll have more sucess!

    Get yourself a crow call and an owl decoy "crows hate any bird of prey"they will mob it as soon as they lay eyes on it.
