Well today I when out for my first day decoying crows (that's first No1). I've been keeping a eye on a field and there is a flight line that crosses it every morning to a pig farm and hundreds of crows on every evening before they go back the there roost, so I thought that I would get there at half 7 this morning to catch the morning commute but they were earlier than expected and I missed the main body. I sat it out and the going was slow I was there for 8 hours and only managed 8 crows!!! Mostly down to me missing BUT I got my first pigeon (first No2). Any way the hundreds of crows that I had seen every day never showed so I thought I would pack up and change to shooting them off a flight line as they come off the pig farm, and it was a good decision as in the last hour of light I managed to bag another 7 crows and another pigeon talking me to 17 in total so my first double figure bag (first No3) most of them first shot kills so I think on getting the hang of it now plus I got my first double (first No4) so all in all a very enjoyable day

Nice one mate sounds like an enjoyable outing. Crows can be a bit wary to deviate from their intended target so always best to set up as close as possible to where they are going to feed (in this case the pig farm) or even better where they are feeding. Crow shooting is addictive but as mentioned always best to get set up first thing before it is light. I have found that the first hour is usually the most productive hour.

 

Good luck on the next target....a three figure bag.

Thank you

Only takes one good day. I picked up a couple of good permissions with crow problems last year having only ever shot a 50 or so day (and that was a rare event). I managed 102, 104 and 129 which I was over the moon with. Ended the year on just over 1600 black marauders. With my skill and charm ...or lack of it there is hope for everybody.
