eccles Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Had a call off my mate Ieun carrion's killing his lambs taking their tongues as they are being born out in the fields .Its a mountain farm Called up there yesterday after lunch to see what was about. Walked a good few fields and did not see many crows. Had a chat with him at the farm said no not a lot since you shot most of them a few years back. But they have started to get at lambs again. Found a spot where i thought i could set up hide in the morning and maybe shoot a few. Thought to myself hope i get the killer they like foxes only need 1 or 2 bad ones and watch out. Got up this morning at 5 had breakfast and my smoke fed dogs etc . Left house at 5.30 for a 15 trip to farm. Parked up at entrance to next field walked about 80y to where i would set up. Stuck up the hide and out with 6 full body decoys and 7 or 8 shells. Back into the hide for a smoke just after 6ish could hear the odd crow calling in the distance . First crow came in after half 6 down it went them another pair came folded both. Nothing came again for a while thought bloody hopeless They did start again 1 or 2 at a time over the next hour or so. Phil came later on to feed sheep which brought in a few more. Told him i'd dropped 4 behind me and asked him to pick them up on his rounds later ok Ter will do. Started to rain and nothing flying about so packed in quick . shot these in pic 27 + 1 jackdaw plus 4 that phil went for plus 2 more that dropped a distance away from hide to lazy to fetch them total 34. So more than i thought i'd manage farmer well pleased. Pic of crows first see the size of the 2 pic by my foot other pics to be added in a bit view from hide and all the land seen is part of my permissions and pic of hide.
