Bluebarrels Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Went out on the corvids this morning to try out the MK2 crow decoys (homemade) and to be honest they worked very well anyway myself and a mate had a good couple of hours,not a massive bag but for the time of year pretty respectable anyway heres the photo, 21 birds picked,4 lost :o During the morning i also had chance to rebuild one of my static hides that the farmer had to move earlier in the year,anyway what do you reckon Built from 2x pallets and some old scrim netting,plus vegitation(view is from about 3 ft away) The next picture is taken from the field looking back to the hide (view through the fence about 10ft away) This hide is located on a busy flightline,for both pigeon/crows,i think it blends in very well,also has a decent seat,think the 20-30 mins spent building it this morning,should pay back with some decent shooting and it saves lugging loads of hide building kit around BB Edited November 19, 2011 by Bluebarrels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo33 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) I'm going for high gun next week BB But of course like you know who, there will be maybe up to 20 "lost" in the hedge And anyway SteveBwales, BB wasn't pinching your title, it was supposed to read "Corvids with Capers" and in the recipe section Edited November 20, 2011 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
