Alright, I've found tons of recommendations for the Hook's Harrison Hootin Stick for an owl call.  What about a crow call?  Is Hook's crow just as good or is another one better?

I hunt crows and have several custom calls.  I have Gibson, Mincey, and Slayer.  The Gibsons are my favorite.  There's a guy that sells several crow calls on ebay that has great prices and service.  It's the guy that has the "Eating Crow" video - Jerry Tomlin.

There is also this Old Gobbler member that owns Crowmart and sells all the Gibson calls and the Jack Mincey calls. Check it out and/or call me. Regards
For Gibson and Mincey crow calls visit CrowMart at www.crowmart.com  Turkey Guide - Maryland

I have a hooks crow call and really like it. Don't know much about other kinds but I'm satisfied with it

I have a Buckner crow call that is the best i have heard.

Do you want to hunt crows or do you want to locate gobblers. Locating gobblers is about sheer volume and pitch.. I have never run a crow louder than Harrison and it can be blown a lil higher pitch than a crow.. With the high number of crows in most areas you need these two things to illicit a shock gobble.

With that being said the crow calms down to crow like volume as well.

Hooks or Buckner both sound good.

I have a Primos Power crow. It has a very loud / shrill sound. I picked it up at academy a couple years ago for around 10 bucks I think. If you are looking at a call for shock gobbling the power crow is worth trying. I usually only have to blow it a few notes and all the crows within the vicinity start sounding off.  :gobble:

I haven't heard the Harrison, but any crow call can be tune to a higher pitch by moving the reed in.  I used my higher pitched calls to turkey hunt.

I'm like Basin_hunter. I've got a couple of the Primos Power Crow calls. One I keep in my vest and the other in my truck. I've never used a custom crow call but I might try one one day for crow hunting. Does anyone know if Bob Aronsohn makes a crow call. He's like the best crow hunter in the world.

He doesn't make a call.  He uses Jack Lee Mincey calls.  He's very active over at Crow Busters...very nice guy.

I've had so-so luck with the Primos and HS Strut and really wanted to try a custom. After doing a two week 'net search I went with the old tried and true Gibson, the crow hunters really loved that one. The OG guys raved about Harrison's call by Hook's. Midwest has the Gibson for $28 plus shipping while Ebay had the same one for $25 with cheaper shipping. Like most calling,  I really think the caller makes the difference more than the call, but a good call doesn't hurt!

The Faulk C-50 is by far the best sounding long with or next to the gibsons with excellent volume and crisp realistic sounds!
