Putting ducks on 2 ponds this year, any advice on keeping them their apart from normal feeding .

Any one on here used a U-Caller to get close up pictures of crows,thinking of buying one.

The dog is doing her own thing you need to try and find an enclosed area and recall her. The first time she doesn't recall get after her and chastise her ,put her back on her lead and make her walk to heel you are then taking control and showing her you are the boss. You need to carry out this method until she understands what you require of her give her plenty of praise when she gets it right but you must be firm when she gets it wrong good luck .

I know its not the best time of year but as anyone got a spare crow call bird in or around the Chorley area would be happy to collect many thanks Wadingin.

Found what looks like a fox den on one of my permissions about 100yards from duck pond looked like fresh poo in entrance to den also found other hole about 25 yards from first do you think the holes belong to the same fox or could I have 2 .

Looking to join a Wildfowling club in the northwest of England, would be grateful for any help or advice.

Hi Matt and welcome from another Lancashire lad.

Its what men do my wife gives me lots of advice but I dont always take it .

missed twice as many as I hit poor shooting but happy just to be out and the ones I hit where shot well.

Out this morning 6am with owl decoy placed up a tree on a post on the ground no interest from crows decided they where taking the**** so went back to decoys that BRNDL lent me. Two hours later shot 6 until they decided that I was now taking the *******and they went to roost .Owl now sat in garden redundant.Many thanks BRNDL you saved the day will pm you to return the decoys and thanks to all for the advice .

Any tips or advice on using an owl decoy when crow shooting with shotgun

Thanks for the replies and will wear my cap when out with my mate . Regards Wadingin

How far will no 6 shot travel to ensure safe shooting when decoying or rough shooting

Hi BRNDL its a small world may bump into you some time on the moor above Rivington .Regards Wadingin

Hi BRNDL I shoot a few crows at a farm near to me but cant use the shot gun because of the cattle .I tend to go just before the farmer goes to lunch and set up my hide I place about 10 homemade decoys out and like to put 1or2 up high as they seem to like 1or2 on guard or look out, if I have a dead rabbit I would consider putting that out .Then its a waiting game after putting on my gear hat,vail, gloves . The crows come into the farm to mostly feed on the cattle feed and will peck holes in the black sileage bags but tend to land first on post or out buildings that's were I hit them .I always like to pick up the ones I have killed and move them when I can.It can be a bit frustrating not using my shotgun on them but its almost a silent method and feel the crows return sooner . Good luck all the best Wadingin
