Bluebarrels Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Well seen as quite a few are posting good bags on pigeon,thought i would post one on crows/jackies,much harder to decoy (only joking,before someone gets upset) Well thought i would have a crack with the 20 gauge today,as it gets very little to no use.Got to the shoot about 5.30 and went to my normal area of late to ambush them on a flight line,i decided to take minimal kit with me today. 4xfull body crow decoys-clearview net-flapper-chinsticks-flask and snacks-gun and 150 shells and a bag to carry it all in Didnt use the net,tucked in behind some ferns,bit of a natural hide,with a few trees behind me. as you can see it offered good cover and a perfect ambush position :o First bird down went straight onto the flapper,dont know why but just recently they seem to decoy better with fewer decoys Well had some good shots,seemed to commit to the pattern very well,and after a couple of hours the pattern was getting pretty big Had a couple of pigeons too so it was a cracking morning,was actually thinking of selling the 20 bore on however after today i think i will hang onto it for a while,a cracking little gun Finished the morning with 70 on the clicker,actually picked up 54,lost a few in the ferns and nettles,so left them for Charlie anyway must dash,bbq and **** up to go to BB (so it goes to show minimal kit,does work ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humperdingle Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 What did you do with them all? The last time I thinned out a rookery many years ago, they were all left in the woods. A week later, not a trace of any dead carcasses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebarrels Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 What did you do with them all? The last time I thinned out a rookery many years ago, they were all left in the woods. A week later, not a trace of any dead carcasses! Always get them together for a group photo and then throw them into deep cover,ferns or nettles,and leave for charlie to do his work (if hes chomping on them,chances are he will leave the piglets alone ) Never much left,the next time i go as a result of the good clean up operation charlie does,i dont shoot him his luck will eventually run out, when there aint no crows to shoot BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
