hawkeye Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Having a nice lie in this morning when the mobile rings, crows are on the barley again bear in mind I had just shot 28 in this field on Friday. Bang goes my lazy day I remembered what I had said to a mate who wanted to go with me some time got straight on the phone to him answer machine said ring his mobile that wasn’t switched on. Decided to try my older brother he likes shooting crows. And its more fun to have some one to chat to, he was up for it so I took my o/u lamber for him to use. I picked him up at 10am by the time we got to the farm and set up it was after 11am. After he had gone through nearly 2 boxes of cartridges his shoulder was bruised mind you I gave him 36grm of no 8 to use. So I gave him the fabarms auto less kick in that one. Just set the decoys out as usual no sun so could not use the DISCO BALL so put the magnet out with the first 2 crows we shot on it, but could only have it on full speed as I knackered the speed control blew the fuse. Didn’t seem to stop them they were coming that fast we hardly had time to reload. When we first got to the farm and started down the field at least 300 crows took up off the grass and the barley. We set up in the grass field with the barley at our backs things slowed down at 2.00pm so decided to gave it another half hour and then pack while I was collecting the decoys and taking down the hide and packing things away our lad picked up 54 black ones, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertie Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Keep up the good work hawkeye. Had full intention of decoying this morning myself, no chance though, was through the boro last night, ended up in lap dancing club. Seems the older i get the dafter my actions are in drink! Ended up going out this afternoon never got a shot, sure they could smell the drink off me downwind! Thats it though i'm officially off the drink, till next weekend anyway!
