eccles Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Report from my post yesterday. As i said i had been looking around yesterday for some crows for this morning.Not a lot to be seen in any numbers. Did find a fair few on a grass field with the sheep and lambs eating their feed. So decided that was the best place could see a nice flight path next to the river Dovey. Got up this morning at the usual time 5 quick breakfast fed dogs etc .Left the house just passed 5.30 for a 10 min drive to field. Parked up end of lane next to the river thought car to close for decoying. No where else to park without a blinking walk so left it. Got into the field walked up the hedge not far from car, started putting out the decoys was getting quite light could hear crows in the distance. Up with the hide asap had a cuppa and smoke crows coming in over decoys cawing away like mad, did not shoot for a good while as i was shooting between 2 small villages. Watch and hearing them blinking crows was driving me mad finger was twitching away. Then about 6. 45 to 7 thought well i'm off wake up everybody. They came in nice for a while ones and twos all falling to the EELL . 2 cracking high one's L to R dropping the both into the river Dovey for burial at sea. Went quiet for a half hour then came again one's and twos only 2 packs of 4 came in all morning with 2 out of both failing to fly anymore. Had some great shooting again dropping some corkers and with the nice sun out was blinking lovely. Went quiet about 11- 45 thought pack up Eccles collected all the crows in my field went for 1 that dropped and legged it to the river no sign walked up the river bank a bit further and found the monkey then he decided to jump in river got stuck on branch took pic then had to go back for gun to finish him off. Picked up 56 mixed + 2 in river + 1 i shot + 3 over behind hedge where i was shooting Total 62 with only 1 jackdaw getting away 68 carts . a nice morning out. Pic1 picked pic 2 in river pic4 hide Pic PIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy130 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Thought it was you shooting down the bottom, sounded like plenty of singles came in . There was 100+ sat up here on the shoot obviously didn't feel like playing ball with you. If I had more time I would have gone out myself.
