Hello all, So, one of my permissions has a fair few crows about at the minute. It is a sheep farm and the crows have been doing some eye pecking to a few of the troubled ewes and the farmer is keen for them to be shot. I have been a few times now averaging around 5 kills per session. If I was a good shot it would be 10 I usually just throw my full bodies out, sometimes all 12 and others 4 or 5 in no particular order. Very few actually decoy in, they just hover slightly out of range for a while then move on. I have been advised to add some movement into my pattern possibly a flapper. I am using my primos that I am pretty competent with. Is there much field craft to crow shooting in terms of attracting them in, as I do think the hide is acceptable ( possible room for improvement, I am using one stealth net.) Have you any thoughts, tricks that you can share? I have some pigeon decoys too, would you suggest adding these to the pattern? I was also considering buying some bangers to put in the fields they usually move to in order to keep them up and flying? Thanks in advance - P.S if you are an experienced crow shooter that can show me a thing or two I would love to invite you the permission to deliver a lesson or 2! ATB BRNDL
