aga man Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 i think mark gichrist uses the crow versions in his videos. i have no experience of them but i would imagine they are an unnecesary gimmick. personaly i would put the money towards a flapper or even a couple of bouncers/floaters to use with dead birds. just my opinion. atb aga man.

stubby Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I picked up one a couple of years ago for a fiver from usa, never worked on pidgeons, turned it into a magpie one, never worked on them either I thought it would be great, on stubble it sits ok, but once shooting fields with growth, they get hidden by rape thumbs down from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 They break after about 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilberts1989 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I was thinking about making one. I reckon I could make one using a old land rover wheel bearing with 3 rods bent at Z angles and 3 full body decoys with a hole drilled in the belly of them to place on the rod. The breeze should give it natural movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike737 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 That's an idea, I've quite a few Land-Rover wheel bearings in the garage, might be an old wiper motor as well... Thanks all, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Essex Hunter Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi All, Has anyone any experience of these please? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4ab4548f2d Thanks, Mike. Mike, For £48.00 it would spend the cash on flock coated shells and leave the trash kit where it is....!! If you hunt around for a deal then I recon you will end up with 16-18 decoys for that amount of cash or possibly more… With the drillings coming up, add that number to your set up and they will show up much better than a over grown kids toy… TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I bought one from the USA, so a lot cheaper than over here. I took the brackets off the 'dove' decoys, and fitted them to some Crow ones. It works a treat, as it gives extra movement in the pattern, which can be seen from a distance, and has helped in attracting corvids, especially jackdaw's, into my kill zone.
