steve_b_wales Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 After using the Primos Power Crow caller for many years, with great success, I thought I would try out the Sam Neyt caller, because of all the rave reviews about it. I took it with me on the farm today, and gave it a go. My first impression and opinion? Not happy at all. I can get the same sounds out of the Primos caller, and at almost a 3rd of the price cheaper. I used the Sam Neyt one correctly, and although the sounds were authentic, they were no better, or worse, than the Primos. I personally think that the Primos has the edge on sounds, as apart from Crows, I can call Rooks and Jackdaws with excellent results. Don't get me wrong, I'm not rubbishing the Sam Neyt caller, and if you want a quality caller, then this is a good one. But,the Primos caller is also good quality, albeit a 'plastic' one. Steve.

I'm not knocking the Sam Neyt caller, but while testing it,I found that I can get the same sounds(and more) out of the Primos, which is far cheaper.

cjm Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 There seems to be a few different types on primos crow calls. which one works best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I have a Johnny Stewart Crow Caller that I get on really well with using it does bring the crows in from quite some distances. It would be interesting to see how they compare with the Primos callers! I once had an ACME Crow caller and all I could do was to make sounds like Daffy Duck in with a severe dose of Delli Belly! It did work for Jackdaws but I would not buy another! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pykie Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I use the Sam Neyt and have shot between 1000 and 1500 corvids every year for about eight years. I personally find the Sam Neyt the best but to be honest, it's good we all use different calls or else the crafty crows would soon get wise to our calling!

pintail Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Ive used quite a few calls, even ones from the USA, but just find the best one for me is the Primos, but what ever you use if it pulls the crows in well that's the main thing i have been using the yellow primos and have now found out they do a new one, i think its a 'primos power call' any one bought one yet and if so any luck with the crows with them, Pykie are most of your kills carrion crows or rooks, as i seem to shoot loads of jackdaws at this time of the year and mostly rooks on laid wheat or barley later in the year, and have a few carrion crows now and then, would love to shoot hooded crows but there just arnt any round my way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 There seems to be a few different types on primos crow calls. which one works best? The yellow coloured one. Highly recommended. As anyone who has seen me using mine, how effective the Primos is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did work for Jackdaws but I would not buy another! The ACME one is okay for Jackdaws, but useless for Crows, in my opinion. The pitch is too high. When I use the Primos caller, I can call in Jackdaw's, Crows, Rooks, and even Seagulls (done to see if I could do it, but not to shoot them) The Primos is about the best on the market, and at a good price too. But as mentioned, if your caller works for you, no matter what the make is, then that's what matters most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackdaws nearly always seem to be around somewhere I shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
