Crow hunting.....

Further to your OP. If you want to shoot crows with a centre fire varmint rifle then follow these directions. You must also have an electronic caller preferably with a remote. Place caller in a small group of trees under the tallest dead tree of bare branch. Set yourself up in the shade or some desirable cover at a distance you feel comfortable shooting at. I like 125-150 yards should there be little wind. Rest the rifle with crosshairs pointing at this dead stub (crows always land on the highest point and on a branch with little on no foliage on it). Turn caller on to a fighting crows or dying crow series. Crows will come screaming in and circle for a while until they get tired of looking for all the commotion Soon one or two will land to survey the situation, giving a fine sitting target. Upon shooting they will take off a ways and sometimes a couple will return where this can be repeated...as long as they don't see ya. All safety precautions must be adhered to when shooting above the horizon as well. Good luck with the pink steam.

Thank you for that, I really had no clue.

I usually hunt them with decoys and ecalls under flight paths between roost and feeding areas . haven't had much luck with an owl but use a stuffed fox with good results. Decoys near the fox in the trees and on the ground with first dead of the day positioned under the fox's mouth . Play the dying crow sound and get ready ,, best day yet was 62 in a morning , one spot .
someone wanted some pics, here are a few , none from a big shoot unfortunately .

I like your technique Huntingike. Crows are predominately a shotgun target IMO. Kills in the hundreds are possible during the fall migration. Lot's of scouting and preparation is needed for big kills though. Still fun sniping them with rifles but a dozen taken in this manner is a good day. Wish I knew how to post pics as I have many that would impress some...bother others that feel one should eat what he/she kills.
