Last night I only had about an hour to hunt before dark but I thought I would give it a shot. I started calling with pheasant distress and then switched to grey fox distress. Almost immediately after switching I noticed two crows started circling and cawing. Before I switched I would occasionally see a crow fly by but now they were making a big ruckus. Their circles were pretty tight and they were slowly getting closer. When I noticed they were getting closer I lowered the volumn on the call from level 4 to level 3. Just before they got to the wood line they stopped flying and landed in a tree. While perched they continued to caw for a few minutes then flew off one at a time. I sat there until dark but never saw anything. My questions are, do you think that was a coincidence that they were cawing and circling or could it have been a predator coming in? Also, should I have adjusted the volumn or left it alone?

I think they came in to see what they were going to have for dinner. They thought your call was gonna be it and when they didn't see anything laying there dying they figured it was not gonna happen and moved on.

Thats kinda what I was thinking at first but they seemed to come in differently than in the past. Usually they fly right in and then circle. I did use a decoy for the first time so that may be why too. Just wishfull thinking I guess.

I agree with Don.
