    Not sure about Hoodies

    I have a Herbertus (excuse spelling) Caller that you could talk all day with crows with.

    If you vary the pitch it can even sound like a magpie.
    It's a knack to getting the pitch right though and if you don't use it in a while you forget :(

    I bought an acme crow call and it has never worked for me it sounds more like a mallard duck than any crow I've ever heard!

    Bought one of these on Ebay from the man himself! There are two type's, hooded crow and magpie!
    It takes a lot of practice to get used to it but if you get it working right, it's a great call!
    The hooded crow call is more expensive than the mag! i think i paid about 35 euro for it, but it was well worth it!

    He'll also send you some downloads of how to use your call! He can make a Hello call, come back call, distress call, and one which you should never use, a stay clear, danger call!

    not a hooded crow call, but if your out with the shotgun I find shaking a half box of matches an effective magpie call:)

    I've found these two, both of which I like the sound of but I am leaning towards the Nordic Crow.

    Nordik crow call is winging it's way from Finland...

    This seems to be the business for magpies:
