I have noticed that the crows are back in full force and searching again for turkey hens on nest. I found 10 crows on a nest last year breaking up all the eggs as the hen stood by watching. any suggestions other than the obvious.

Get a crow call and shoot as many as you can. My Foxpro has a crow quarrel call and they come flying in.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

Absolute, I had a wild river electric caller but it is worn out. Had a tape of hawk and crow fight. They would come in thick and fast.

Crows are smart. Once you put some pressure on them they will move to where they feel safer.

^^this

And especially now that they have plenty of food everywhere

In the late fall and cold winter they will stick around a lil longer

saw several hens tight on nest in thick brush away from the more open area's where the crows seem to gather. I fixed my electric caller and will be out in force this weekend.
