Guest stevo Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) evening all . Well after a week relaxing on holiday in wales I thought it was about time I got my backside out and done a spot of crow busting as the pigeons aren’t really hitting anything at the moment, ( give it another couple of weeks )Anyway got to my shoot and set up about 8am, I thought I would take the A400 out this time, seeing as last time the Hatsan ha the cob webs blown well and truly out of it.Started off with just 16 decoys (greenhead / Avery) set out in a random pattern, closest about 20 yards and furthest about 50 yards.I was using Noble sport prima 28 gram 6s and Fiochci PL28s witch also happen to be a 28 gram 6.I also went for the full choke as per normal ( I like to crunch the crows also test my shooting ).Everything started off as I would have expected, birds seem to decoy at first, but then I noticed that they started to flare off. So with that in mind I started to pull the dead birds in, every 5-10 shotAnd just leave the decoys out, it was pretty obvious they liked what they saw so why mess things up!I must say the weather was a total mish-mash , it might not look it in the video but it was blowing a gale , and really heavy showers from time to time , Anyway I think the rest speaks for its self .the day ended up with a total bag of 92 35 carrion2 jackdaws2 woodies53 rooks I hope you enjoy the video, here’s the link And here’s the pic of the total bag https://www.dropbox.com/sc/tyi7ims2ej6zkem/AADTKGqUIOFdHpxDyM2LHvAsa regards stevo Edited May 26, 2014 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 thanks lads , as for the use of calls ... nope never , just good old fashioned decoys and reconnaissance , I think you always need a roof over the top of your hide if you want results , but that's just my opinion . once again thank you for the kind words stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeside1000 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) I was going to ask you about the roof but you have already answered my question, I was set up in a ditch last week, good hide and plenty of decoys but the birds were coming in high and even though I was fully camo'd and careful not to move they still turned away before getting in range, not so many birds about but only downed one and a pigeon. need to rethink my hide construction. oh and nice shooting and vid, thanks for the chance to watch a real pro at work, Edited May 29, 2014 by lakeside1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
