Are these crows wise to me?
Permalink  
 


The first week  I hunted this management land the crows immediately responded to my mouth call and came right to my 5 decoys. I shot a few and missed a few.  The second week I hunted in spot number 2 and it was even better.  They called back and came quickly to the decoys.     The third week I hunted in spot number 3 and something different happened. When I called they ignored me but still called to each other from all directions. They continued to ignore my calling and I heard them moving away from me. I then got frustrated and started calling aggressively until one came and landed in a tall tree within sight on my decoys.  That one sat there in the tree for a while and then called the others over.  Crows came from everywhere but they were really high and they were scared to come any lower.   Is this how it works? Should I forget this place and hunt another place or did I do something wrong?

 

Thanks for the help

CMM,

I have nothing to sell so I'll give you my thoughts for free.

3 hunts in the same general area in 3 consecutive weeks will produce stale birds. You need to hunt different birds, IMO.

Good luck!!

Your Trip # 3 account lists every symptom of call shy birds...that's my diagnosis. BH outlines the cure.

Good Hunting,

Demi
