superspark Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 In my neck of the woods the crows are very cleaver. I shot one last year and it flew on for a short time before droping, after that they would come in so close then turn away. later i found the first one i shot was lying on its back and scaring off all the others. i dont leave any dead ones upside down now for this reason. I find that if you watch them from a distance with binoculars you can see where they are heading too. If you can get under thier flight line you stand a good chance of getting a large number of them. One of my best days on the crows and rooks was when they were flying in to feed on a newley seeded corn field. they were drifting acrross a field at about 15 foot high so I set up under a hedge row, placed a few decoys in the field with a few along the hedge row on existing posts and shot a good fifty of them as they cam in to have a closer look. As others have said, the main thing is don't get seen and don't even twitch until your target is in range or they will see you and be off. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
