Hello, I've never bird-hunted (just starting hunting last year, period) and seems like starting with crows might be a good approach. I'm sure I could figure it out, but itd fun and helpful to hunt with someone with experience.
I live in Anderson. Anyone hunt crow within an hour or so of Anderson, IN and inclined to allow a novice to join them? Some public sites I go to multiple times/year include Wilbur Wright FWA, Province Pond, and Salamonie. Depending on the spot and scheduling, I could go a little farther.

Crow hunting is not that easy. Make sure you are well hidden. A crow will turn sideways to avoid most of the shot. Get a good call or two and mix them in. My 1st hunting were crows, rabbits and squirrels.

I’ve used them and not used them and not found any difference. They come to the call and once they get close enough it’s time to shoot. Not sure the decoys make much of a difference. Maybe in open fields, but I’m usually hunting them in small openings in the woods.

I've got a McD french fry box and a couple crow dekes I'll set out sometimes. Especially with the rifle. Killed a lot of 'em with that and the 17HMR. Set that out in the grass next to an apple tree they are already after and start up a foxpro caller. You'll get a LOT of action.

Used to live in Anderson. When it gets cold that town has 10s of thousands or even millions of crows. Find a flight path and blast until your tired of shooting. I killed them while sitting in the river duck hunting, fields goose hunting, backyard as they roosted in my trees, fence rows in a field north of town.
Lots of targets.

Came across this, but have never hinted crow. What are crows even used for other than hunting them as pest control?
