Crow
Caws
What is it about a crow's caw that makes a turkey gobble? That is a common
question we get here at JAKES Magazine. If you've spent any time in the
woods or hunting on a field and been nearly deafened by a murder (group)
of crows, then you know how annoying they can be.
Well, turkeys get annoyed by them, too. Plus, during the spring mating
season, gobblers are very high-strung. Any loud noise could set them to
gobbling, even a cow, a train or a slamming car door. That's why using
a crow call during turkey season is a good way to locate gobblers.
Sometimes the simple "Caw, Caw, Caw" series is good enough to
make a turkey gobble, sometimes, though, you have to mix in a little gargling
and groaning on the call to annoy them. Crow calls are made of all types
of things, ranging from exotic woods to plastic. They have a reed in them
like a duck call that vibrates when air passes over it. They are cheap
and easy tools for locating gobblers.
