Walnut Crow Call C-50, Brown

Works well, portable, well made.

Most accurate sounding crow call I've ever heard

COVID-19 has us pretty much stuck at home. Thought it might be fun to get a Faulk's Walnut Crow Call and learn a little about crows. Glad to see it is made in America. It's quality. It was nicely packaged and came with instructions for making young versus adult crow calls. It is really easy to use - right out of the box - and it sounds very authentic. So authentic that it did not take long for a bunch of crows to show up. I will look for other Faulk's products. I have purchased other bird calls from other companies and Faulk's is heads and tails above the rest. This is a superior company. I highly recommend Faulk's.

I've bought a few crow callers but they all sound more like duck calls. This one is really good and sounds almost spot on. The crows responded to it far better than my other calls.

I like using this messing with the crows in the yard definitely gets them going

CONSTRUCTION:This crow call is well made, solid, and feels quality built from wood. One item to note is that the instructional video for this item tells the user to gently place your teeth on the bit while using. Even with casual and gentle use, this will wear into the veneer and make a mark on the bit.PRICE:There are cheaper calls and there are more expensive ones as well. It feels like its 2-4 dollars over priced but when you see it work, you quickly forget that aspect.EASE OF USE:The technique required to make the call sound authentic is easy but does take some practice to really perfect. If you simply blow air through the call, it will sound like a birthday party noise maker and not a crow. The key is to perform a "throat clearing" grumble while blowing to give the call its distinct gravel-like crow caw.You will also want to take some time to study actual call patterns to achieve the desired effect. There are many videos and documentaries that explain different calls and the meanings used in crow social communities.EFFECTIVENESS:Even if you are not perfect at the call, if you're in the ballpark, you'll typically get a response. I has crows calling back and flying over my house to investigate in just 5 minutes of intermittent calling using four short calls in a row.KNOW YOUR GOALS:If you're using this call just to interact with crows, you'll be satisfied fairly quickly. If you are using this call in an effort to befriend crows and get them to feed and bring you gifts, it's going to be a long road where the call is just one tool used to help you get there.EXTRAS:According to the packaging, this call is two birds in one and allows you to make a hawk call as well. This is achieved by blowing through the side of the reed bit instead of straight on like you would for the crow. I don't know much about hawks and it didn't sound like one to me.SUMMARY:If you are looking for a faily simple crow call, this well made call will not disappoint you. The price may seem high but it works and is effective when used appropriately.

Hands down, this crow call is the most realistic sounding call on the market. It sounds best if you use voice inflection into the call when blow it, like you do with a duck call. I use it primarily for locating turkeys, it's a little soft for that, but does work just fine. It's deadly for calling crows in and starting a crow fight over your head.

To get their attention I mimicked the tempo of crows calling in the area. Two quick calls, three spaced out calls whatever, I copied and WOW I had about a dozen crows flying overhead. I did this for a bit until I knew that they knew where I was. I then left out a few coins and some birdseed to let them know I’m one of the homies.
