BSA Shaun Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Put black socks over the decoys et voila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roughshot Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I usually put out 2 magpie decoys with a pheasent wing that I have for training the dog and this attracts all sorts of crows, rooks , jackdaws and grey crows. If a rook or jackdaw arrives first dont shoot him just let him call for a while and before you know it there will be a mass of black in surrounding trees if your well camoed that is.Best decoy for crows is another dead crow shot a grey crow out of the bedroom window today and he fell to the bottom of the tree in my garden out of experince I didnt go to collect him just reloaded the 20 bore and waited in 10 minutes I had a magpie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death from below Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Wow.....If I did that I'd have a chopper and essex ARV crews around the house in minutes.....I assume you live in a farm or are a very rich land owner......just imagine....get out of bed....make a cuppa....get the shotty and proceed to do a bit of field work from the comfort of your own bedroom.....just of to put my lotto numbers on....you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roughshot Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 No Im not a wealthy landowner and I dont live on a farm I just live in the country my nearest neighbour is 2 fields away . When Im at home I just take the 20 bore out of the cabinet and leave it broken on the bed with 2 carts lying beside it I then lock the bedroom door behind me and go about my buisness.Very effective they have no idea whats hit them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
