I use the decoys you showed in the video, they can get them at bass pro/cabelas for about $25 for 2. I have 6 of those and 6 shell style decoys, for a face mask, a mesh one that I got from bass pro for like $8. For shells, I run 8s-6s 2 3/4 inch with a 1 1/8 or 1 1/4 ounce with even some 2 3/4 inch 1.5 ounce magnum turkey loads that don't pattern well enough out of my gun for turkey. For decoying birds, I love an improved cylinder to modified choke but I am splitting the difference with a light mod right now. Ear pro, I like the Axil ghost stryke.
Hey man, thanks for the tips. Good video. You mentioned range finders are not essential but have you used one before and if so do they help at all or is it totally pointless?
They help and I do use one. But its hard to range birds in the air, I use it to mark my distance so I can better estimate on the fly. You don't need one to get started though.
The best crow hunt I had - it was at night with quiet air rifle and thermal scope. I cleaned my forest from those pests. But since that they did not nest on my property, but on my neighbours land where I can not go...
@@TheNewHuntersGuide yep I buy them from overtons. The one that folks put on their docks to keep seagulls and geese from covering their docks with greazy turds.nice flat base. I actually set it on the ground, and make an open "u" like a duck decoy spread, open end downwind. They HATE, and i mean HATE owls, so if they see one is "wounded" theyre all coming in to get a piece of the action.
Where I hunt, crows are pests. For homeowners they are like flying raccoon and farmers will go to great lengths to protect crops and small livestock from them. Hunting crows is akin setting mouse traps. Same with coyote hunting. That said, we don't typically eat them.
@@tylertolbert7121 Its been great. No complaints. I just wish I remembered how to add more calls to it. I'm sure I could look up a manual. But it has worked well in all kinds of weather. I use it for predator hunting too. I should probably do a review on it at some point.
@@TheNewHuntersGuide sweet man I appreciate the quick feedback. Been crow hunting a bit more lately and looking to buy a new call. Your channel has helped and watched all your videos but couldn’t find the call you used
Concealment is key. Mesh face cover is always a good idea
Thanks!
always great information. Get started and start learning from there
Thanks!

@@TheNewHuntersGuide No problem, a lot of good information in this video. I'm jealous of that sweet 16!
@@DRandolphOutdoors1 Haha, thanks. Maybe one of these days I'll send it in for repair and see if they can get it working right.
I love almost anything you would buy for crows can be used for other kinds of hunting, even the decoys can be used for waterfowl and predator hunting.
Thanks

@@TheNewHuntersGuide thanks mate I might just get one, they ain't that expensive really.
They are helpful for lots of things too!@@leehaywood621

Do they still mess with your land during the day?
@@TheNewHuntersGuide Every year some new crows come. They sit on the trees and scream waking me in the morning. So fight continues.
Never give up, never surrender! @@_Mikekkk
Owl decoy+ Foxpro crowfight play at dawn=crows by the murder coming in hot!
I need to get an Owl decoy, I've heard great things!
@@TheNewHuntersGuide yep

@@eduffy4937 Thank you!
@@TheNewHuntersGuide absolutely.
do you eat your crows you shoot? or just shoot for fun and dump em.

He makes Crow nugget 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheNewHuntersGuideI would suggest cooking for dog food. No dog will turn down meat and you’re not killing and dumping
What electronic call do you use?
An older Foxpro Inferno, got it on sale for a great price years ago.
@@TheNewHuntersGuide how has it held up? I’ve looked into a foxpro patriot

@@TheNewHuntersGuide how has it held up? Any problems and how loud is it? I’ve looked into getting the foxpro patriot

All you need is a small mcdonalds fry and a medium sized throwing rock.
Is a wicked setup for pigeons and seagulls too 🤔
Haha, I know they are scavengers, but I'd didn't know that's go that far lol.
Good audio levels now.
Thanks!
Crow is the hardest to shoot because have some demons power.
Haha, I don't know about that, but they are definitely challenging to shoot!
You are absolutely right.
Your matter-of-fact videos are getting me out daily!
Awesome! That is great to hear. Thank you so much!
