When shooting crows i generly put out 12 to 15 full bodied decoys,about 30 yards from the hide spaced about 6 feet apart leaving a 10 foot space in the patern for the crows to land in ,when you shoot your first bird put it on a flapper to one side of the patern always facing the bird into the wind i always use a crow caller do not overdo the calls if you see or hear a crow calling respond with a few calls just enough to point the crows in the direction of your patern ,keep well down till the bird is within range i use skeet 7and a half 32 gram shells in my browning 525 quartet and half chokes fantastick gun combination shot over 600 birds last year on a farm where there are not a lot of birds about ,mainly calling them in when they are passing over going elswhere to feed.
