BRNDL Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Just purchased a long horned owl for bashing the crows and a caller to reign them in. Any tips/essentials that I should try? I saw somewhere about sticking a bin bag in the owls feet to imitate the capture of a dead crow...anyone else got any simple success stories? Would love to hear how you call your crows in too for this situation? Going to have a go Saturday morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 As mentioned, keep on practising with the Primos caller, it's an excellent bit of kit. When blowing into it, try making a 'grrrr' sound the same time. This will create a more 'raspier' sound. Biting on the rubber tube will increase the pitch,and this can be used for calling in Jackdaw's. As for the Owl decoy, I have a small owl decoy and also the european one. I have'nt had any luck with either of them yet. I've been told that hoisting the decoy into a tree, should help, but I have'nt tried that yet. However, other's have claimed good success rates when using their owl decoy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the primos on your reccomendation. As for the owl decoy, I agree its going to be tried and tested for results!" Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
