mel b3 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 hi lee , leave them alone for a couple of weeks and then borrow my deeks again , corvids are pretty smart but if you leave them alone for a while they'll start to lose a bit of fear and they'll soon be avin it again , i have the same problem on the farm where i took you shooting but i've left them alone for a few weeks and i've had a decent (for this farm) weekend , i shot 20 in an hour yesterday and i shot 38 this morning in a couple of hours .

Cranfield Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I would agree with mel b3, give them a rest and they will slowly return. They are far more territorial than pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
