Rook help

[willtrevt]

I have a perfect hide looking on to a cow field from which i cna shoot rooks etc with my airrifle (bsa supersport .22), the rooks now don't seem intrested in the poo (i posted earlier about this method). I put an eg and a few bits of bread about 20 meters inforn of my hide but the rooks either did not like it or never found it. Do you have any advise of how i could attract them to the food (what sort of food is good??) or otherwise get them within shooting range of my airrifle. Any help i would be most grateful

 

Thanks will

Like pigeons, rooks can be found on drillings. Why not bait the field for a couple of days, then place a couple of dead rooks on cradles infront of your hide.

 

Good Luck

Alternatively, bait the "cow field" with bread for a few days.

Once they know its there, they will come (as long as the cows don,t eat it).

Aslong as there are birds flying around try puting some decoys out,they are quite cheap and you dont need many (2 or 3 will do for a start,asyou can add dead birds later)they are pretty inquisitve and will land andhave a look round if they can see others doing the same

Try putting some decoys lofted into the trees as they can see them from far away. Putting pigeon decoys on the ground also helps I find and also baiting is very usefull on pastures.
