I have just started crow hunting and I am having trouble getting birds to finish into my setups. I am hidden well, using primos power dog call and 8 full body decoys. I see hundreds of crows every morning I go but they stay very high and circle a few times and leave. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Crow Behavior--my backyard

Not the greatest picture, but you can see the dead crow about 60 feet in top of a tree in my back yard. I shot this crow 6 days ago with my Beeman .17 cal. air rifle. It hung there till today...high winds sent him on his way... and wife and I were relieved. Within 5 minutes of shooting this bird, he was swarmed...

My "NEW" decoy :)
(Preview)
I was out hunting last week, only had a couple decoys with me. I needed some more, so I was attempting to prop up some of the dead crows on the corn stalks that are sticking out of the snow. That didn't look very realistic, so it got me to thinking that I needed to keep some stiff wire in my ammo bucket to prop th...

The Crow Submarine: Picture
(Preview)
Had a good hunt today. I hunted in a spot with quite a bit of sheet water that was half frozen. I shot this crow low and at a hard angle to the ground. The crow broke thru the ice and only his feet stopped him from sliding all the way under the ice. I thought it was a neat photo and figured I'd share it. Good...
