rizzini 1 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I brought a crow and tawny owl call the other week, and I've heard good things about the owl call. I was wondering how effective it will be. Also, is it worth buying a owl decoy as I hear crows hate the things. Cheers Quote Link to post

Cheers The little owl and the sparrow hawk plastic decoys are very effective in bringing crows and particularly magpies within range, but keep still when these corvids are about - one small move and they will bank away. I have shot many using these decoys with an air rifle with the decoy sat on top of a fence, they will come down and sit on the next post to the decoy especially during the nesting and fledgling season..

I brought a two call set. The owl call sounds great but the crow call sounds nothing liek a crow. It's the faullhaber one, and for £22 I expected better. Quote Link to post
claybusers al 9 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 you will find crows and there more often rooks and jackdaws are very cautious get well hidden they get more careless around nesting time this is when you will get the best sport we had 280 in 2 weeks this year off a small rookery the farmer was very impressed Quote Link to post
rizzini 1 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Is calling them effective? I've heard the tawny owl call works a treat but I have yet to try it out. Quote Link to post
