I was wondering what you guys used for a calling strategy in a feeding set up.
We hunt a cornfield and use mostly Bob's light feeding sounds like recognition call, come here crow etc and use it fairly sparingly.
Whenever you see it crows coming in front a distance towards the decoys or start to crow on the way in do you guys keep calling or shut it off and let the decoys go to work?
i only answer any calling...not fraNTICALLY NOW...BASICALLY "caww-ccaaww-cah!" or variance...i use the deeper growl style..three slow in a row but there are variances...there is the sharp -no growling style or raspy "caw"....when they are coming in you really don't need a lot of calling but if your system is working; no need to change. i kill more or killed more using my system. but you don't really need anything more than what you are now doing but one very critical technique-don't shoot the place up often unless you know you are shooting at migrants who obviously hadn't seen your game yet...this works every where by the way...i just don't use that set up..but i emphasize it works!
I generally let the caller run the whole time as birds approach. For the most part, if they like the sound at a quarter mile they'll still like the sound when they get in range.

Same here, we usually let it run and mouth call with it, mouth calls seem to help a lot. But some days we've had to talk to them with both. Sure is nice when you can sit back and let the E-Caller do all the work.
