Crow Callers

[craig1982]

Have several permissions were there are good numbers of Crow,s Rook,s and Jackdaw,s. I have all the gear to decoy them and have  quite a few over the last couple of weeks, was thinking of getting a crow caller. Do they work which is the best ?

I had a Acme call many years ago jackdaws and carrion came in most of the time .Had a mate called them in without a call.Plus he never missed one.

One of the best (once you learn how to use it properly) is the Primos Power Crow Caller. It's excellent and I have been using one for years. I can call in Crow's, Jackdaw's, Rook's and even Seagulls (done for a laugh once) to prove I could do it. Many people have 'dissed' these callers because they find they can't use them. 

Another make is the Sam Neyt one, which is very good, but almost three times the price of a Primos one. The ACME caller is good for calling Jackdaw's, owing to it's high pitch, but not good for Crow's.

The Primos caller is excellent, and as Steve above said, the reason people moan about them is due to not being able to use them. I can mimic crows and jackdaw chatter with mine. Practice practice practice

The acme caller takes a good bit of practise but you can get a decent growly crow call out of it. Feels like you need to huff into it from as deep down in your diaphragm as you can to get the sound.  The primos is far easier and louder to use though.

They take some practise and a lot of the time its the limited use of them that works but you'll get the gist.

If you do as highlighted above, you'll get a perfect Crow call, but practice is a must.

just ordered a sam neyt.

I use a Primos Power Crow caller. It certainly has an effect but I haven’t mastered the calls yet. You need to use the right calls at the right times.

Got myself an Acme version out to some newly drilled fields latter today.

[craig1982]

Went out this afternoon, got 29 crows tried the caller, it sounded like a duck getting necked, more practice required.

Anyone got any tips for using the primos on carrions? When I use it sounds like a fox whistle 😂😂😂

[BenBhoy]

You need to growl into it like a bear, a deep chested bear with something stuck in its throat. Don't blow into it like a party blower.

It's strange, because when I bought my first Primos caller, I managed to get it to sound like Crows on my first attempt. Perhaps I was lucky! I still consider the Primos the best caller out there though.
