I got a new custom Hook's Harrison crow call for this spring. It looks great and is as real sounding as I've heard, and boy is it loud!

I have been told that the hooks is really loud

Unlike alot of people a crow call is a huge part of my hunting style.. I have found two crow calls in my life that worked 80% of the time.. When Scott sent me the Harrison I though No way could it replace the one I had that worked so well..

Well its what I carry now, it worked as well as the former one that I went through so many calls to find..

Its about volume and pitch

The Hooks call made by James Harrison is definitely loud and proud. Other good crow calls I have were made by Jack Mincey and Michael Buckner.

To my experience, turkeys rarely shock gobble to crow calls. At least where I hunt they don't. Tons of crows, so I guess they are used to it? ??? I carry a crow call, but have never had any luck with it.

This was my first year with any experience with Hook's. I had read on here about how great their calls and customer service were and was wondering if they really were as good as advertised and decided to try them out. I wanted a new custom owl hooter and crow call to match so I called Hook's to see if they could work something out with me. While on the phone with me, Scott(the owner) called callmaker James Harrison to ask if he could make me a matching owl and crow call and he said it wouldn't be a problem. Maybe I got lucky he had some extra matching wood around to make my crow call, but I think that just goes to show they have their priorities set the right way. They didn't have to work anything out with me. They have a synthetic and osage wood owl and crow calls. It would have been easy for them to tell me that's all they had available and not worry about getting me a custom crow to match. The fact that they care enough about their customers to go out of their way to make them happy is why I will be a Hook's customer from now on. It's also why I spent some more to buy a slate, box, few mouth calls, and a hat too, whoops!

In short, yeah you can't go wrong with Hook's.

I have both, a Hooks crow and Michael Buckner crow call. Of the two I like the buckner call the best.

A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

IME yes they are used to it.. A crow call that is tuned a touch higher and much louder "shocks" them into gobbling.. Numerous times I have had a crow blast next to me with nothing and hit a call tuned higher and louder and hear a gobble..

HARDCORE

Hook's for locating turkeys, Jack Mincey for crow hunting.

Exactly right. This crow call is simply AMAZING for making one gobble. God bless.
