Mungler Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 The ACME ones do take practice and you have to call through them like you are sort of choking, coughing and retching all at the same time. The bloke I shoot with does it really well. However, when I am alone (just with my camera) I bought an electronic caller from a US webby - for the PWF nonsense brigade this is for photographic purposes only of course. I have a spare electronic caller and was going to put it on ebay in the next week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

young gun Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I used to have a crow call before i lost it, i believe it may have been the acme one, i found once i'd learnt how to use it properley it was brilliant at bringing in crows from a distance espcially if i had some decoys out for them to see as well. I found the best way to use it was to cup your hand round the bottom of it you could then alter the pitch or tone of the call by how tightly you had your hand around it untill you get the desired call.

jonno 357 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I have a couple of crow calls and are very effective. One is a Tex Wirtz Magic Tone Deluxe Crow Call in Cocobola Wood with brass reeds circa 1950's The other is a Bill Harper Crow Call same again in crafted wood. IMO these type of calls are the best. Electronic gadgets are a complete waste of time. You can't just switch the machine on and expect to use the same crow call all day long with effect Buy the Jerry (thecowman) Tomlinson DVD and see how the pro calls them into a pecan trees Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big simmo999 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I use the Haydels triple tone crow call - it's very good and simple to use - plus it only costs about £8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb f Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I have started using a Knight & Hale magmun crow call (model 104) Found on ebay. I have had varied sucess with it, In my opinion it is better than the old Acme ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning GTS Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Have just brought a Primos crow call playing with it whilst walking the dog today it seems to work. Also by sqeezing end you blow into slightly it sounds like a jackdaw ( to me anyway don`t know if the jackdaws agree caus` there were none about ) I wont be going shooting untill next week but can`t wait to try it out.
