Set up help

Not new to crow hunting but getting back into it with my grandson. Hunted last Saturday 6:00 AM. Used owl & 5 crow decoys, had 2 come in high & they flew off. Using foxpro ecaller crow & owl fight. Had owl in pine tree & crow decoys out front spread out in trees, overcast morning. I was using an external speaker with volumn up & hand call also

If you are using an electronic caller with an owl, the owl should be below the crow decoys. If higher, it shows as a dangerous position for crows as the owl is dominant (above). Keep the owl low & crow decoys high. Hope this helps. demi

5173 you are going to have to be more specific in your request.

You did nothing wrong...unless you missed!

I think I know what you did "wrong"  to keep them high but loose lips sink ships so  you are going to have to learn how to correct this mistake by experience! Sorry! I've heard actual experienced crow shooters do the exact same thing!

Perhaps what he meant was that the setup help he had was his grandson and that is all there is to it.

Bob; You know better than I and most folks (99 9/10%) that so long as you got the crows so to speak one needn't be too sophisticated. Here I don't have that luxury-every incoming crow counts as there are not thousands upon thousands where the basic crow set up will deliver for you and all that's needed once this is satisfied is accuracy.

 At least appears that way?

Hi Tom,

Ft. Cobb had more crows than any place in North America at one time and that still did not guarantee good shooting all the time. The bottom line is how much hunting pressure they get in regard to how well they will respond.

If there is masses of food about, they will look a setup over first. Slightest thing wrong will cause them to fly on. When food is scarce they are less wary.
As stated above, if using a fighting set up, keep the owl lower than the crow decoys, and keep all the crow decoys about 10 yards back, except for two which can be within 2 yards.
I prefer the feeding set up most times though
