steve_b_wales Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I cut a few of my decoys to make them into shells. Purely to reduce bulk, and they did not affect the crows coming in. I don't use a pattern as such, but place the decoys about 3 feet apart, facing into the wind(if any) and not facing the hide. When I shoot some crows, I also place these with the decoys and build the numbers up. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
