I just tried ordering Greenhead Gear Flocked crow decoys from Cabela's. They are out of stock and wold have to be back ordered. There data shows them available for fall. WELL ! The season goes out Mar. 1 here so that won't do me any good this year.
Anyone know where I may be able to find them in stock. Thanks for any and all help.

Bit off topic but IMO dead crows are the best deeks. Easy to come by, cheap and biodegradable

He speaks the truth. I would never had believed it until our last outing. I left one bird out in the open. When the other birds found it, they just went nuts. I was one of those things you just have to see.
We only pick up and "concentrate" the bodies to ensure a wounded one out a hundred or 200 yards out does not deter additional crows from overflying our decoy spread.
We have noticed many times after "gridding" our crows, additional crows will still come over for a "final look".
We generally try to keep a dead bird or two handy to be used as a "tosser". Often times if a bird is looking to be too high on the way in, lands in tree outside of range or otherwise needs further enticement we will toss a dead bird as high in the air as we can and into the decoy spread. This generally spikes their curiosity and brings them over and into gun range. If a dead bird is not handy tossing one's cap up in the air about 6 to 10 feet has the same effect. Just be sure they can only see the dead crow or hat and not the hunter tossing them.

That's cool. I have never heard of this technique being used with crows, but have read about people doing this with Magpies.
Dick Mermon in his book "Crow Shooting Secrets" talks about throwing a dead bird in the air, low tech to say the least. I never found it to be a game changer on any of my earlier hunts years ago.

Thanks Bob, I wondered if it worked well or not.
To the OP, I was at the Cabelas here in Maine the other night and they had these decoys in the store for $15 each. I know that doesn't help you, but are you near one of their retail stores?
