Fuddster Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi all, as per the title-has anyone ever used a stuffed fox to decoy crows....................idea they oblige by mobbing the fox and not seeing the cunning shooter concealed nearby. had a report its a very effective method. good post on youtube of a swedish guy using a stuffed owl to good effect. any ideas welcomed cheers fudd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Websites sell fox decoys for the exact purpose. I can't list the exact website on here, but just search decoying on google and select 'vermin control' from the first result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuddster Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 i've bought a good example of a full bodied fox from fleabay. old boy I spoke a while ago said he shot crows in their dozens....probably best sited near a rookery or a refuse dump if i had access.

tweedledee Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 they don`t like predators.foxes may eat something the crows would be after.have witnessed them tormenting a dog fox running across a field one morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensman Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ok, so what way do you set up the 'fox' and can you not just prop up a dead fox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 On one of the Warrener video's, he used a fox pelt, draped over a frame. It worked for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
