"If
men had wings and bore black feathers, few of them would be
clever enough to be crows."
Henry Ward Beecher

Great! So here is your first important lesson: Relax

location, calling techniques and decoy placement. It can all
seem a bit overwhelming. But keep in mind the main reason
why experienced crow hunters got into this sport in the
first place, Fun. Plain
old fashioned Fun. And
while those of us that are considered crow hunting fanatics
may argue the proper timing for the "Rally
Call" vs. the "Distress
Call", the truth is that with a few dollars in
equipment and a little bit of knowledge, the novice crow
hunter can be tremendously successful and have a boatload of
fun at the same time. In fact, beginner success combined
with the
abundance of crows throughout the world makes crow shooting
a perfect way to introduce a young person to the great sport
of hunting.
