Anyone have success in watching crows to locate turkeys, they can aggrevate a gobbler. Any advice?

I listen for and pay attention when I'm out hunting gobblers knowing that the crows will pester turkeys quite often. If not much is happening I'll head towards the vocal crows and either hear a gobble or broadcast a couple of hen yelps out there to get a gobble. Its happened a few times over my 49 years of hunting them.

If you don't hear turkeys, it is a great idea to investigate an area with vocal crows. Had success with that many times.

Crows are a friend of turkey hunters.

Sometimes you can figure out the direction a group of turkeys are headed, by listening to the crows move through the woods.

Be alert to squirrels and blue jays scolding something.  Just maybe they are alerting you to turkey.

I have seen crows harrassing turkeys on more than one occasion.

I use a crow call sometimes...best luck with a peacock call..if there's a gobbler around when I blow the peacock call, he'll sound off..
Happy Hunting,

Yes... especially when the crows are near an established food source.

Never tried the peacock call. That is a good idea

I love crows. They are eyes in the sky and absolutely give away turkeys position. Listen to nature. I like to use a Hawk Screamer after daylight.

Have seen crows pestering turkeys several times.
