Went out on the corvids this morning to try out the MK2 crow decoys (homemade) and to be honest they worked very well :good: anyway myself and a mate had a good couple of hours,not a massive bag but for the time of year pretty respectable :yes: 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 :hmm:

 

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 :good: (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 :good: and it saves lugging loads of hide building kit around :good: BB
