Do you call...

[barry]

...right after a crow has sounded off?
Personally I don't just because I can't ever remember hearing a hen yelp after I heard a crow. I just figured it was not in the natural scheme of things for a hen to draw a crows attention.
What say yee?

The crows are going so often I never even thought about it. Come to think of it I have never even heard a gobble after a crow screems.

[jblackburn]

I've heard hens start cutting right after crows sound off, but I don't let it dictate my calling.

[Gooserbat]

I call when it feels right and usually not immediately after some sort of background noise, car horns, jake brakes, crows, owls, crop dusters, and such.

It really just depends if I just yelped few times right before the.crows.started to crow I wouldn't but if I am about ready to call and crows start making noises I will wait for them to stop. To see if I can hear a shock gobble and then call.

That crop duster did not seem to bother that gobbler in Kansas. Not nearly as much as those Winchester 6's!

[DirtNap647]

no i dont call right after a crow

[mudhen]

Never thought about it, but as to hearing a gobble following a crow scolding, I stopped counting at several thousand times over the past 35 years...

Crow stories ---

I wont shoot Crows  , call it superstition --If you ever watch crows you will notice they wont pass up a chance to give a wild turkey  hard time -they fly over and call at them , often times pitching on a limb nearby and giving a extended smack talk

This year on DC ranch I was with Rocky here trying to getting him his grand slam , there was a gobbler hung  up behind us he would occasionally gobble , but what would really get him pissed off was this one particular crow that would pitch in a branch 15 foot over his head and do this raw-raw-raw-raw-raw-raw calling , it was like the crow was doing his best gobble imitation , those crows are clever and he had a pretty good gobbler impersonation going on , I think we heard him do it about 10 times , he would fly away then come back 10 minutes latter - the crow would do his raw-raw thing and the gobbler would sound right off giving us a fix on his location in the cypress head behind us - never seen a crow do a gobble impersonation before , Ill try and get it on film if the same crow is in the area next season

Like a parrot can imitate a human voice , I guess Crows can mimic other sounds -I watched a show on TV about the Tower of London I know than one of the Ravens kept there can imitate one of the Yeoman -Guards words - Ravens are closely related to Crows

But any ways quite often when the gobbling settles down , if I hear a crow sounding off in the woods , I interpret that to be the location of a turkey -if a crow flys near me , I stay quiet and still , crows will pick you out and pitch over me and give my location away likewise 

eyes in the sky ....

We have so many crows that I don't ever worry about it.

[RutnNStrutn]

I call when I call. If a crow goes off, and a gobbler hammers back, then I crow call (but NOT hen call) as I work my way in towards him.

[El Pavo Grande]

Not to get off topic, but as Old Gobbler said, I have seen crows imitating certain sounds including a hen yelping.  And they are good at giving up a silent turkeys location at times, enough to the point to really pay attention when they start a ruckus.

With so many crows, I never worry about calling right after one if it's in the natural course of a hunt.  But, I can guarantee I am always attentive when a crow or woodpecker calls.

[Gawhitaker]

If i am moving i'll stop and listen hard when the crows get really fired up, if i'm still or working one i still listen right after the crow calls.

I've never heard/seen a crow do that either.  But I've been surprised at how well mockingbirds can pick up a kee kee call and repeat it.

The lyre bird is the most impressive imitator in nature.  Check this out:
