Alright guys so I have had my crow call for over 10 yrs that I loved and lately I've been letting my Lil boy which is 1.5 yrs old play with it. Well low and behold he broke it the other night. SO what are some realistic sounding crow calls with good volume to them.

He probably done you a favor, I never found one to be of any use.

Probably right since turkeys don't gobble to them.

do you want to make the turkey shock gobble or do you want to kill it
Gibson.
Start running a pileated woodpecker call and thank me later
I use the raspiest call I could find. I have used an HS Strut Hammerin Crow for years and I love it. I don't think turkeys like it, they hate it :OGturkeyhead:
Get one from anyone in Rutherford Co, NC. I prefer the Gibson or Gosey. You can also hawk scream on it.
You fellows that say a crow call doesn't work are either blowing the wrong call, or you can't blow one right IMHO .. they are deadly when blown right and in the right situation..
I have a Haydel crow and it has killed right a many tom in it's day.
X2 on Gosey, excellent call good guy to deal with, I use a crow call only when I'm making a move to make sure of a gobblers location so I don't bump him.

He never said he wanted a locater call

everyone's experiences are different, and if a crow call never worked then nobody would buy one. But I've been turkey hunting with my pop since I'm 7, and all the years I've hunted with him and all the years I've hunted by myself I have NEVER got one shock gobble with one. Never not once. And this was on property that I know was filled with Tom's. As another guy said a pileated woodpecker has worked good for me, and I've had wonderful success with owl hooters
I have a hooks walnut call. I really only use it scouting. It came in handy sunday morning.
Daryal Gosey
I like my Woodhaven, but love my old Primos crow call that has a wood barrel on it.
I don't know how many different ways you could blow a crow call or how many brands are out there, but I lost count of how many Gobblers I've had shut completely down from some hero blowing a Crow call.
If they work for you in the place you hunt then good for you.
For some reason people here will continue blowing a crow call at a gobbling turkey until he shuts up, he's already gobbling on his own, that's about as located as he can be lol.
I have had them gobble and continue to gobble with both a crow call (Top Calls) and a Pileated woodpecker (I think it is a Lowman 5 in 1, no name on it. Works great for doing Coyote calls and getting them howling too) , Owl (Mad Surefine Hooter). I have a friend that I thought he was nuts when he told me what he was using until I went out with him, he uses an elk call with the tube and they answered him almost every time. (No elk in NY)

Sorry for my original smart remark BUT I did not ask if they worked or how to blow them. I asked my question because I wanted a realistic call. I use them to get turkeys to shock gobble when they have shut up or when I'm closing the distance and do not want to sound like a hen and I also use them for killing crows. I'm not your average joe sounding like a ridiculous crow in the woods. Future reference LaLongbeard if you ain't got anything to add to a post then you do have the option of not saying anything. Just Saying. Thanks again for all the helpful input from everyone else and I have tried the woodpecker and it does work I just don't carry one anymore

I did not offer advice on how to blow a crow call. And I was not the only one that said they don't use them. Future reference don't get so bunched up about what someone posts.
I use them but they don't work all the time.
Still carry my ole Preston Pittman crow call. Works well in the hills of MS, not so much in the Delta.
I remember a particular bird that I located pre season. He would not gobble at an owl, but would respond everytime to a crow call....darndest thing...he and I now have regular conversations while in my easy chair and he on his roost limb above.

You can get a pittman pretty cheap. I always have a pittman and a primos in my vest. They have helped me a lot!
Some of these comments are cracking me up. You can't just make a blanket statement that they don't work. Honestly my first thought was of all the yahoos running around blowing crow calls all over the place but I have had some success with them also. I usually try my crow call as a last resort and sometimes I get lucky and get a response.
I bought an Osage crow calm from Darayl last year and that call above from Mike looks really nice to.

I agree with an overwhelming majority of your posts but you generally rarely ever give an answer to the question that is being asked and usually have a fairly condescending tone to your replies.
No point in going into a thread that asks a specific question that you clearly don't have the answer too and commenting just for the hell of it.
As for the initial question,I don't personally use a crow call but I have a friend that carries a woodhaven I believe, that sounds very realistic.

^^^^ This!
Don't ignore a Peacock call as well. I've had pretty good luck with mine.
TrackeySauresRex
I agree 110 %
That's a nice looking call, Mr. Yingling!
I carry a crow call that dates back to the 90s...it's plastic, and it sounds ok. Birds do shock to it sometimes. I don't use it that much.
One thing's for sure, any crow call is going to fail 100% of the time if no turkeys are around to shock to it.

my Gosey's (http://i.imgur.com/zVxmbyh.jpg) (https://imgur.com/zVxmbyh)
and they will shock!
Chad Scruggs. Prefer his over the Gibson I also have.
one thing i havent read was and it happens for me once you get the real crows going it will get them gobbling lots of times ,,and just like every other air operated call you got know how to use it
Mike you beat me to it. I was going to say I very rarely get a gobble to the call directly but once the real crows start flying around and going nuts the birds generally respond.
You can't go wrong with Gosey or Gibson. Lonehowl on here makes a good one, this is what I use. I have not used Mike's crow call but if it sounds as much like a crow as his copper pot does a turkey you can't go wrong.

Generally rarely ever lol. Is there a particular reason why what I posted upsets you and the other posts about not using Crow calls doesn't?
Op I forgot to mention Daryl Gibson makes a call he calls a screamer. It's made particularly for turkeys so he says.
Funny cause I've had fantastic luck w a reg call. The screamer was in my safe as it was too nice to use.
I've had brain surgery n it left me w issues. One was no feeling and some palsy on the right side. While it's gotten tons better I still can't get a reg crow no matter how hard I try to blow. The screamer is perfect sounding though.
I won a warbird crow call made of zebra wood it works better than any previous crow call I have owned
Is Daryl Gibson on the forum. I was going to get in touch with Gosey also, found him on here

Just picked one of these cherry burls up from Mike Y., it's a great sounding and looking call, pretty piece of wood.
I got it for crow hunting, very realistic sounding crow call and would have no problem also using it as a gobbler locater call.
you don't have to march thru the turkey woods blowing on a crow call like your trying to get the walls of Jericho to come tumbling down to keep track of a gobbler, sometimes they work, sometimes not
Well said and thanks for the review

Get up with Daryal Gosey. Top notch and very knowledgable
I just received one in the mail today from Daryl Gibson. I'll get pics up later tonight. ALL CROW.
CROWMART sells both Gibson and Gosey calls as well as Mincey calls.
Haydel has worked well for me for many years. Small, light and effective.

I got the exact same thing and agree it sounds wonderful. Gave up my old one in a small lot of stuff I am trying to trade away after I got mine from Mike.
