Tod Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 was out shooting crows yesterday for a couple of hours, put 10 full bodied decoys out and managed to call a few in using the primos power call as they were passing, missed a few and shot a few then decided to use a load speaker hooked up to the iphone with the ihunt app with corvid calls to see the effect, all i can say is all hell broke loose, we played a mob attack call very load for about 30 seconds and within 2 minutes there must have been 2 to 3 hundred crows above us at differant heights going absolutely mental, they were swooping into the decoys with a few landing amongst them, we stood motionless AND DID NOT SHOOT throughout so as not to give our position away, they all dissapeared as quickly as they arrived and it went back to the odd crow flighting over, was like a scene from the birds.

Jesse James Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thank you Tod, I was looking for something along these lines and that ap is great. Just bought the full version £2.75.

smig4373 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 The crow calls pretty useless unless your going to photograph them....you cant use an electrically/digital generated call to call in birds to shoot....pretty pointless really... I did acknowledge that you didnt shoot any...although you put your reason was 'not to give your position away'...when in fact,its illegal I have used downloaded internet calls to shoot fox's to great effect...

It may be obvious to you, but I bet there was someone reading this that never knew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
