steve0146 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Some footage of this mornings shoot. Pouring with rain for most of it but nice to be out again. I get a lot of comments on YouTube as to why I shoot crows and have given a couple of reasons in the vid. I got comments on another vid at how rubbish my hide building skills are, and I should have tree branches around it and gorse etc. I shoot up on a moorland and there are no trees or gorse. Its almost barren. Constructive criticism is always welcome though! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 A good video and good shooting too. I also make my own decoys, made from Correx. They suppliment the many full bodied and shell decoys I have. I also use dead birds as decoys, by inserting a 12" bamboo cane from the rear, into the head. I place them in an upright position with the rest of the cane fixed into the ground. I've found that a flapper works well, as does a few floaters. I tried a rota bit this only worked with Jackdaws.

aga man Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Good video. Nothing wrong with that hide, the corvids came in range with confidence. That bank looks very rabbbity, if that is fresh drilled corn rabbits will cause major damage in the coming months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I enjoyed that. Always good to see a few crows getting a taste of their own medicine - especially as nesting season approaches. Thanks for posting. I tried a pump the other day for the first time ever. Chris Green is at expert level compared to me. I now appreciate the "pumpists art" so well done on that front too!!
