I grew up Crow Hunting. My Father had a Johnny Stewart record playing game caller. Compare to nowdays, there may be more crows, but they are smater. The key is don't miss. Once you miss than the crow lands in a tree out of range and does a warning call. Now you will still get some in after this happens but it slows down. Pick up and move down the road a mile and start again. I have stoped at as many as two dozen places in a day, but it is worth it due to one of those stops is going to be of the hook. I am orginal from Louisiana and still hunt over there for the most part. I would like to go around here sometime. I have a Game Caller. Just need someone to go with that knows the area and has permision to hunt. I would like to go here in the next few weeks, while it is still cold. Anyone up for a good hunt?

What type of decoys do yall use?

I know nothing about crow hunting. Wanted to get that out of the way before I ask my dumb question: What do you do with them crows after you shoot them? Is there a crow season? Didn't see them on the TPWD website.

I hunt crows just to get rid of some of them in most cases but some people do eat them. And as for a season there is no season as long as you have a reason to kill the crows, whether it be damage of property or of crops.

i hunt in east texas on some private land and notice the crows every time we go out hunting...the problem is that they are in 3 or 4 size groups how would yall recomend hunting for them

You need to get a fighting tape or distressed crow call but if you have a hawk crow fight or owl crow fight or a crow frenzy tape they should all come in pretty good. If they have never been hunted before it will be pretty easy to get them in. Set up in a spot you see them sometimes and blast the call if you have crow decoys set them up in a fighting scene with a owl or hawk deke but if you shoot right when they come in you might not need decoys. One of those calls will bring the whole flock over sometimes they even start beating up on a hawk on the way its pretty amazing to watch them. Good Luck.

The season is year around. That is the great part. I like to go to keep my wing shooting sharp. Plus it gives me a reason to go out in the field during the spring and summer. I never have used decoys but I am wanting to buy a couple of these plastic crow decoys becuase I can see that they would be very effective. Be sure to get como up and hide as if you were hunting any other game. They can see well. You want to get in a spot that is thick undergrowth. But it is only give or take ten feet high so you can shoot above the thicket. A older muture Pine forest is good with under growth or some young pines aprox. fifteen feet high. Put the speaker in some thick stuff about 30 yards from you and the game caller next to you so you can start it over or turn it down. If you have decoys put them near the speaker were they can see them. Just like any hunting there are tricks to the trade that only comes with experince. If you never done it than get with someone that has. Crows are everywhere, you just need a few places to hunt them. I be more than happy to share my experince and show you how if you have some places to hunt. It is as fun as a good Dove shoot.

went out to the deer lease today shot 6 crows should of had more but it was still fun.

Any owl/crow or hawk/crow fight tape with a decoy has always worked for me.
The best decoy I ever use was by accident though. I was varmint hunting one morning and had killed a coyote. Later that day I decided to do some crow calling and I didn't have a decoy. So, I just laid the dead coyote out in an open spot among a thicket and turned on the call. Every crow that came in that day went nuts. Everyone of them was swooping down and rising hell. I ended up with a lot of crows that day!

I tried something like that before, one day after a duck hunt i took one of the duck remains and laid them out in an opening in the woods and turned on a tape. Within 5 minutes i had atleast 80 crows circling me, they landed in the trees surrounding the duck and started to rock back and forth in the top of the pines it was amazing.
