FalconFN Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Depends where you're shooting them. You can pick off one or two around buildings etc but in open ground, where there are loads of crows, if you shoot one the rest will go beserk, circling and calling and won't come down to land. You can put a slit open rabbit out and wait. You could shoot the first one to land and then prop it up with a stick and use it as a decoy but you won't get big numbers. Good luck Edited May 17, 2011 by FalconFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootfive Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 It's a sight to behold when they circle a fallen comrade, squawking and diving. Doesn't help you shoot any, mind. One or two and they will be put off, unless you can entice them to land, as said above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireshot Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 On my farm I put a stick up between me and the decoys as they will land on that first that will give you time to aim but what will work one week wont work the next as they are very clever and never the same place twice.

Durham-laddie Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Get plenty of cover as well, shooting from a vehicle is good. Or get plenty of camo netting or shoot from a good thick hedgerow. As said before, they are very very clever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
