hey landon, don't take it personal. we've had a lot of trollers on here in times past. we're not used to having 12 yr olds on the forum, and see, there's really no way for us to tell if people are really who they say they are, except by their posts.
but there's plenty of good info here if you're willing to read.
There are a great many forums that have an age limit of 13. There are some pretty good reasons for that and they have nothing to do with young Game's personality.
I think that it is possible for "game" to be an adult yanking our chain.
However, I'm a teacher for 6th graders, (12 year olds). He acts 12, he writes like he's 12, he doesn't seem to want to take our advice, (after asking for it) which is typical for a 12 yr old boy.
BUT, having said that, many grown men write like that, act like that, AND refuse our advice after asking for help.
So, I don't know. I'll treat him like he's real, but I won't be surprised if it turns out to be an adult that is already a member on here.

What I have already suggested along with what many others on here have suggested. You say that you have good decoys and that your calling is very good.
I will take your word for that, but if that's true, then those crows are seeing you. Either you don't have good enough camo, or you aren't in a good blind, or you are moving at the wrong time. Maybe your gun is too shiny.
In other words, if your decoys look realistic, if your calling sounds realistice, then what is left to scare them away from your set-up? Thay HAVE to be something that they do not like.
This is why we have asked for photos of your setup, so we can check it out and help you. I'll be 45 years old next month, but I learn something new on here all the time. Many times, the people that help me are half my age. Not a problem. Don't hesitate to take advice. It may work great for you.
Go gett'em little buddy, let us know how new spot works out. Fresh birds are always good. Did you see your decoys get taken, or do you just leave them out overnite?
Game - Hey, I'm 53 and new to crow hunting... be sure to use all of the information available first. If you are 12 and online, then you know how to search the internet, I hope. For example, have you been here?
http://www.crowbusters.com/begtechn.htm
or here?

Then there are the articles on Crowbusters, too, and that's just this website.
And, the links to other site:

Check out Cornell's Ornithology department if you want to learn about crow behavior
my gun is totally black and 3 of my decoys were tooken by a hawk or owl and now im moving to a new spot.

Even if your gun is all black and you have good camo and cover, they may see you moving, OR may see your face.
I don't like to keep my face down so I either wear a facemask or I use face paint. Bob A. has another way of hiding his face in a shadow which is really cool. You can read his posts to see the photos of how he does that.
IS "GAME" PULLING YOUR CHAIN??
