Nuts About Crow Hunting

We set up in the early morning darkness and hid in a blown-down boxelder tree and waited for the world to wake up.  Ammo was 12-gauge factory 1 1/8 ounce of #8s with modified chokes.  Ran the fighting crow sounds and dying crow with an old FoxPro caller.  Decoys included a coyote, lots of feathers, a dozen crow decoys, a Mojo Crow and a Tyvek crow tied to a bamboo rod with monofilament.  The elaborate spread goes well with the fighting crow sounds – especially, anything with movement to catch their sharp eyes.

Tip:  Don’t use shot larger than 7 1/2 for best results.
