HEy does anybody know if any call makers out there make a Raven(not Crow but actual Raven) calls.Out west we have a lot of Ravens and boy do they get the Tom' s going! Just wonderin cuz if they do I' m buyin a couple

I don' t know if anyone makes them, but I' ve been able to fire up the ravens with a crow call most of the time. The turkeys don' t seem to like my crow call as well though, at least not so far. All has been quiet in western WA for me.

I don' t know of any one making a raven call,but i did notice around my hunting area that the ravens got the toms fired up more than the crows did.

Why do turkeys gobble at crows? I was just wondering, kinda off topic I know.

What' s the difference between a raven and a crow?

Just a much larger bird, bout the size of a good red tail hawk, but their vocal cords are different ,they do more of a little three note caw real short and it just drives the Tom' s nuts. Yesterday a Raven sat in a tree near 2 Toms and got him to gobble for at least an hour and a half.

Slee, I have never got any response to a crow call in 5 years, but the Raven and myself were the only thing that got any responses, not even a dilpeated woodpecker.There were tons of them going off yesterday but it didn,t effect the Toms. So if you here a raven @ first light, be on guard they will get a tom to respond

because a crow will, probably not do damage to a Turkey but the can pester them, like that raven I was talking about was bugging them and the Turkey is gobbling to say" knock it off" or in case of an Owl,they are predators and I think a Tom gobbling back to those sounds is a defensive posture

Check this link out for the differences, and they have a sound bite. http://www.shades-of-night.com/aviary/difs.html

I' ll do some searching for Raven calls. I' ve never had any luck with a crow call either, so I' d buy one if you find it. I' d like to know how to make that popping noise they make too. I' ll e-mail Primos to see if they can start making one, and explain why we need one out west. I' m sure they' ll get right on it.

Dude don' t email Primos, I' m in the process of getting one made. if it works maybe it' ll be my ticket to having a fun job as aposed to the one i got right now
