easiest way is to get your hands on an electric call, and put on the crow frenzy or whatever it may be called. i usually like to call in the woods, but a field edge will work to as long as you stay concealed (cant stress that enough!!!!). full camo is a must, these birds have excellent eye sight and will flare off very easily, especially if they are being hunted a lot. the first few birds you kill, toss them up in the trees around you. these will act as your decoys, and the rest of the birds coming in will be more at ease seeing their "buddies" in the trees. your going to wanna shoot a semi auto or a pump gun because you will get plenty of opportunity at multiple birds. i regularly knock down doubles and triples. i shoot 2 3/4" #6's. minimum i would shoot is #7 1/2. crows are notorious for being shot and flying quite a distance then dropping.

@thehunter98.6 a lot of people eat crow just like others eat dove, squirrel, or rabbit. Others might shoot them to keep more crops in the fields.
@huntersboy you will need a good shotgun and you hunt them in a similar fashion as you would doves, or you can take advantage of their scavenger aspects and have some bait like bluegill heads or deer guts out. Depends on your state game laws and preferences

The best way for me has been an electronic call with an owl decoy. They are very wary birds though so you need to sit still and be well concealed. You also have to be prepared for more straight overhead shots than with any other type of bird hunting.
