Since h.s bought j.stewart they have started making the hammerin crow too and as far as I can tell its the same call.

Another thing to remember with a crow call is you don't just blow in it. Not everyone can be trained to call crows.

Hammerin crow. One with the name worn off, and I can't recall the maker . And my Dad's old P.S.Olt from back in the early '60's. The one with the name worn of gets the most use on crows and turkeys .

WTH is correct, ya just don't blow through 'em .

I learned to call crows over 50 years ago from the legendary Francis W. Davis.  In the years since, I have taught several others to do so, as well.  Having not bought a crow call for serveral years (My personal favorites are the old black plastic Olt and a really great wood call offered by the White Owl Cirgar Co. offered many years ago.), I wanted to see what the current favorites are to help with buying calls for my grandsons.  Obviously, I have received little help here.  The snide remarks re:  "You just don't blow......" are not appreciated at all.

If anyone has a genuine, well-meaning suggestion...I'd love to hear it.

Ok I missed something as the Don't just blow through them was good advice for a lot of newbies in my opinion.  You know what I did the first time I picked up a crow call... blew through it hard.  Sounded like    No one around me crow hunted, so I had to teach myself.  Wish back then forums would have been around and I could have learned a lot more.

I'd also bet WTH has been around a lot of people that have just blown in them over and over.  I'm getting better with using just a call and listening to how to talk back to the birds.  I was lazy once and just used an electronic call, but now I'm working more and more toward just taking a crow call.

Judging from the responses to my query, you would not get a lot of help from this forum.

Yeah this site is more devoted to turkey hunting.  Not sure a lot of these members crow hunt.  I picked up most of my info from crowbusters forum    It wasn't around when I started crow hunting though

You might want to get that thin skin of yours checked out its painfully obvious you've came down with that condition.

I was serious that the hammerin crow is a good production call. I was also serious that you don't just blow because I've seen people do it and wonder why the call doesn't sound right. I didn't know you were a wizbang crow caller with half a century of experience tought by some legend crow caller (whatever that is). Still doubting your hidden crow talents considering your the one asking what a good call is but ok.
