Turkey don't like crows because they drive them nuts and crows love to herass turkeys.

I had this posted on another thread but how come I have heard crows kawing all the time with no answer ever of a turkey. It took me buying 2 crow calls to realize I may never use it cause the real birds don't even get a responce.

In Iowa seldom. Almost every single time they open up to a Owl on Roost.

Crow calls work magic here in OK, but I use it between dawn and dusk.  Those times are reserve for owl hoots or coyote howls.

:agreed: I have used crows before to locate turkey.  Not every time there is a bunch of crows giving it heck  there's turkeys under them but many times it has put me on them.  If this don't work you can do what others have said and put a little smack down on them!
