Crow calls. Best of the best
Who makes the best most realistic crow sounding call? Nothing plastic either. Affordable reliable piece for locating turkeys and killing crows both

Re: Crow calls. Best of the best
Larry Proffitt recommended ML Walker from Spindale, NC, which is just north of me. I called a few years ago and went up wife my wife and ended buying 2 at $40 ea, I believe. Good calls !! Don't know if he's still alive yet or not??
Ended going back and my wife bought one of his custom made fiddles and she put a different bridge on it to make it a violin .. no orchestra has invited her to play with them yet

If you can't get the turkeys to come in for to shoot one, I got to tell ya, the crows are harder to call in than the turkeys.

Back in Michigan, I took a bear & fox & bobcat & coyote huntin' buddy, to scout turkeys on the roost gobblin' at day break.
I owl called .. gobble . gobble .. he smiled, I crow called, gobble . gobble .. he smiled more .. I walked to the back of my pick-up and let the tail gate slam down .. and nothing
Walked up to him and said .. well 2 out of 3 isn't bad

Re: Crow calls. Best of the best
About the only crows here are the big flocks that fly through the area in the fall, non stop heading south.

Re: Crow calls. Best of the best
Mike Batteys Wildtalker crow call is handstill down the best sounding one I have personally run.
Momma said "kill that turkey"
Re: Crow calls. Best of the best
I went to Mike Batteys Wildtalker game calls website, and can't for the life of me figure out how to actually buy one of his crow calls. Does anyone have a contact e-mail or phone number for him?
Re: Crow calls. Best of the best
Last time I had an exchange with him was through facebook. This is not a comment on crow calls. I don't carry one when turkey hunting.The Baron wrote:I went to Mike Batteys Wildtalker game calls website, and can't for the life of me figure out how to actually buy one of his crow calls.

The most I do with a crow call when hunting is yell at those that fly 6' off the ground to let them know I am not a turkey. This usually makes the crow start using its box call for some reason I don't understand.

Re: Crow calls. Best of the best
I really like JLM, Jack Mincey crow calls due to the cedar mouthpiece which is like the old Faulk's. Gibson's are great calls. As a young hunter, I learned to call crows and to mimic owls by utilizing my vocal cords and pushing air w/ my diaphragm which is why I don't carry a crow or ow calls when turkey hunting.
Re: Crow calls. Best of the best
I don't use them a lot anymore but have tried a bunch over the years. One of the best I ever tried was made by Jim Smith, Smiths Game Calls in Pa. Not sure he is still alive but it was a superb call. Wood, handmade. Mite be one floating around out there somewhere.
Re: Crow calls. Best of the best
Here's one I made last night out of Termite Wild Cherry.
