paddywack12 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I go in with protective glasses and just neck them all bar 1 as fast as i can it can get a bit hairy at times when you have over 50 in I know what you mean :o crawling around in one of them with blackies jumping on your back making a hell of a row aint for the faint hearted. Must admit had a crow last year that was the size of an eagle no one fancied going in with it so had to shoot it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit had a crow last year that was the size of an eagle no one fancied going in with it so had to shoot it Can go at them freestyle but normally go in with a fishing net. The ******** go nuts when you go in but only to get away from you. Hands got torn up last time but there were 11 in there. Either neck them or whack em against the crossbeams. And watch your head when you're in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedark Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Catch them up with a small landing net on a short pole. You have to dispatch them out of sight of the call birds and its best done after dark so the next wave of 'clients' dont twig the plan!
