| Post subject: | Crow Decoy |
I know this is not a turkey topic but there is no "other" forum. And there are many crows around when you are trying to turkey hunt.  Anyways I was wondering if any of you guy/gals have suggestions on how to make a cheap home-made decoy of a crow? I looked at the manufactured ones and they are almost 50.00 per decoy OUTRAGEOUS!

take coat hangers, bend the triangle part into a crow shape, and cover it in black garbage bags. straighten the hook out and stick em in the ground. |

Read this somewhere, don't remember where, but they took plastic drink bottles, a mix of 1 liter and 2 liter sizes, painted them black and spread them out for decoys. At least it's cheap, who knows it might work. barry |

If you kill a crow, use the dead crow as a decoy. Did this very recently on a crow hunt with Big Bird and it was amazing how the live crows honed in on the dead ones. Also know I have used this waterfowl hunting by tucking the head under the wing and laying them out on a sandbar. Especially deadly on geese. |

Use an owl decoy, then you only need 1. Or cut out some silouettes from cardboard, paint em black maybe slide a piece through a slit in some for 3d effect glue to a clothes pin, clip on a branch and start callin. |

these are $12 a piece from Cabela's. In my experience you don't need too many of these. Not sure this link will work but search for crow decoys. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templ ... sults1.jsp |

Putting a dead crow out sounds real good. As long as it is one you killed that day. If you killed it last week or last mounth, it could be a bit gross

Actually there is a crow website and forum. It is called crowbusters.com. They have a forum, articles and a store to buy stuff. I have bought some crow decoys from wing supply (they have a web site) i think they cost about 12-15 dollars for three. They are pretty big and are made out of hard plastic. I have also bought some smaller decoys made out of styrofoam from Gander Mountain and i believe they cost about 3-4 dollers per. I also own a mojo crow. You may have seen the mojo duck and goose and it is the same except it is a crow. I hope that helps you out. Bill |
