sako751sg Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Nice wee bag BB.Im sure the hide would have made a big difference as they can be very wary birds to take in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I started lofting crow decoys in trees for the first time last year. and was impressed with the results. They certainly do look very lifelike. I hope to get good results this year as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 just wondering how do you loft the decoys? Crow decoys are lofted into the trees by means of lofting poles. These are normally 5-6ft long and come in sets of 5, and are clipped together.The decoy has a hook fixed to its underside, similar in shape to a question mark (?) and this is fitted into the end pole. The hook is weighted on one end,and is draped over the branch. The decoys just 'sit' on the branches and the weighted end helps the decoy move with the breeze. This is a very effective way of bringing in Crows to shoot, as the lofted decoys act as 'lookouts'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
