wildfowler.250 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I was just wondering if I could get some advice on the above? Is the crow shooting as good the day after the silage has been cut or do you really have to be at them on the same day? I am guessing if you went to a field that was cut the day before and the farmer was cutting another field, the crows would go to the 'fresh' field? Thanks in advance for any replies!

CharlieT Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 They tend to follow the mower and forager on to fresh ground as the best tasty morsels soon disappear. I always mow with a rifle in the cab and shoot through the front window, best blackie shooting of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow though "CZ HMR" just doesn't have the same ring as "a bottle of pop" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pykie Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I have shot them up to a week or so after cutting, but I try to get there as soon as the tractors are off the field, thats when I believe you get your best go at them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until the tractors etc have gone. Crows can be very finicky. I have known them to stay on a field of grass, rather than on a field of oat stubble. And this is not when I'm shooting at them.

the enigma Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 If the field has been grazed earlier in the season,and a crop of silage has been taken now, they usually hang about on it rather than move on to fresh ground. There's still plenty of cow $h1t on the ground for them to poke through. I always mow with a rifle in the cab and shoot through the front window, best blackie shooting of the year.
