I will start crow hunting this spring in the southern tier in NY. What should i use.
- include choke
- shotgun gauge
- low brass, hi brass or magnum loads
- what shot size
etc.

thanks

just use an improved cylinder or modified choke gauge does matter what ever you got, you can just use cheap 2 3/4 in. #7 target loads , maybe a few decoys and a crow although you dnt have to use it if you kno where the crows are going

Me and my brother are doing some crow hunting I'd use a tighter choke than modified and high brass. we are both using low brass and modified chokes. We had few crows come in to range a he and I emptied our guns on 1 crow and it still didn't drop, he said he could see our wads going right next to it but thoughts crows must be tough.

We have the Green Head crow decoys. And the Primos power crow call. Our calling isn't that bad because we can get a flock to come around our house.

You where not hitting him very hard, cause I have killed crows with dove loads at 45 yrds.

TheEdgebow and I crow hunt a lot actually. we have found great success using an e-caller and hand calls while the e-caller is going. we shoot mod.-full choke

Yeah like Krugerfarmer said I really like to use a tight choke with whatever shot I have laying around. I mean last year I shot a crow at 55-60 yards with my twelve gauge, turkey choke and 3 1/2" BB. Probably a little overboard but I folded him bigtime! But we have shot'em with mod chokes and 5 and higher shot. Just depends on how close ya can get to'em.

As for the calling part, what we actually found worked well was just going to town on a hand call and just making as many sounds and calls as fast as we could. It sounds weird but we would just be messing around on the calls and next thing ya know they are circling the decoys.

It is deffinetly a learning process! Have fun with it!
