I normally use a 12 gauge, but for the last few weeks I have been sniping them via 22LR scoped rifle over unvisited coyote bait sets (with a few ears of corn tossed around),
and the tree-top sentry lurkers..
This time of year their behavior changes, whether it be due to change of season or mating about to begin - they are warier than ever.
We have 2 weekends left here in Pa - then season closes to Sept.
typical setup:
I don't do huge numbers like the open counry guys, I hunt the woods - but manage to get plenty offeathers for stone fly patterns.
here's a foxy 4 good measure:

Quote:The Big Mac and fries is an international call sign to crows that free chow is waiting for them - they can recognize it from 30,000 feet.
I set up my kill pile from the deer kils and trapped animals with crow sniping in mind. I will set it up so I have a good vantage point of it from a hide a couple of hundred yards away. Every morning like clock work, the crows will visit an established kill pile which becomes a known food source for them. I have also placed this kill pile right along a off-the-roost morning flyway. IT has worked pretty good for me.
We have a summer season for Crows here and I have never had much luck with calling them. I have however, taken a white towel with red paint on it and placed it on the ground out in the open along an established fly way. Again, get in a hide a couple of hunderd yards out and wait and see what happens at first light.
