Pistol*Pete Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'm a complete newbie to this sport, just wondered what people did with the Crows they had shot? I've seen people with very large bags? I've had Pigeon on the dinner table but not heard of crow on the menu? May seem like a silly question? But if you don't know, ask. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus1988 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 The biggest bag I've ever managed on corvids is only seven so I usually discreetly place them behind trees or under hedges for the local foxes. For bigger bags I've heard of people burying them but sounds like a lot of effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Some of the ones I shoot, are brought home and kept in my old freezer in my shed, to use as decoys the next time I'm out. The rest are hidden in hedgerows etc. and are usually picked up by foxes, or decompose very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol*Pete Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Lol A lot of buried Crows! Ive got a few mates with Ferrets so i might try and pass them his way. It just seems a shame to waste them! But a dead one is better than a live one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesj Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Young birds make a very nice pie, older ones are a bit tough! May be putting them in a stew might work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshMike Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I find somewhere out of site to "chuck" them, a small wood, rough patch of ground etc. Out of site, out of mind. Not really inclined to go down the burial route as the hymn signing gets on my nerves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redditch Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I put three a night out every night for the Fox, and they are gone every morning. That said, when I have a lot (and sometimes that can be 2-300) they get banged in a hedge, and the foxes have a feast. They collect them up and bury them in "larders" for winter or other hard times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
