eccles Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 As i said in yesterdays post this morning was to be my first day this year crow bashing. Set up hid etc yesterday ready for a early start this morning. After i set up yesterday my mate Henry said he's smelt a fox on his rounds checking on the lambs. Said i'd call back later last night. Got to Henry's just after dark quick walk around and spotted a fox sat on his backside,down with the pod on with the red XSearcher bang fox down. fox not looking to healthy. On to this morning got up at 5 breakfast fed dogs etc left house at 5.55 for a 5 min spin to Henry's farm. Parked up and a 10 min walk down to where i'd set up. Crows where coming in straight away but waited a while as there are 4 cottages near bye. Started shooting and soon started to bag them. Shot very well as iv'e not shot for ages. I was set up over a stream as you will see in pics crows almost all came in straight at me dropped a load over the hedge behind and lot fell in brambles also into the stream. lost a few in stream and in brambles could not get at them not getting scratched for no bloody crow. Finished shooting by 10 out of carts could hear Henry on his quad coming down field behind gave him a call on mob told him to pick up the dead that side of fence. I Picked up these in pic 74 and picked 8 on way back to farm in field and Henry rung later + picked up 17 so with them in stream + brambles over a hundred so a good mornings crow bashing. He was very happy to. ATVB Terry Pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eccles Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks Chaps can't beat a bit of crow bashing. Took a few corking high one's and the odd crosser. Love seeing them fold up and hitting the deck. Was using a Berretta 687 EELL fixed choke 1/4 + 1/2 and Truss Super Halcon no 6 a good cartridge for crows. Decoys mixed shell and full body about 20no bought of The Pigeon Shooter Shot every crows sat on my drum best thing i made for shooting. Had my afternoon kip OLD man needs it like Bullet Boy tells me. atvb Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
