Fisherman Mike Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Sounds like you need someone with a Harris Hawk or similar and there aint many about... Are you looking for crop protection?? I would be interested to know how you get on FM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Why don't you shoot them or get someone else to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Carrion crows are very hard to get within shooting range, even with .22 rimfire. We have a big problem with them and shoot and trap them already. Just thought a hawker might like to have a go at them, interesting for me, my boss and very natural and hopefully succesful.

ollie Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 If you can't get a hawker why not try a larsen trap, they are deadly as long as you have a good caller inside the trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 I have 12 Larsen traps out on 420 acres for crows and magpies already with live decoy birds in and a big multi-catch trap. We seem to draw them in like a magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
