ronan nee Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 well all, myself and my mate Roy have been dying to get out on a crow bust for a while now but the weather wasn,t as you know the best for it until yesterday when we got a break . so we took off to an organic pig farm down the road from Roys to help out a mate of his to sort out his winged vermin. we arrived there at about 2pm, and after a cup of coffee and a chat with the farmer we had a look around and found a spot to set up the hide. the farmer had two sons that gave us alot of help in the setting up of the decoys and hide and I can tell you that they where happy that they where on their school holidays . So after every thing was set up and us in the hide for a while, things where kind of slack with nothing coming into the pattern. the magnet was out of action cause someone forgot to charge the battery :unsure: so all we had where the decoys on the ground and two flappers, (no birds on flappers). the place was alive with crows but they where too interested in the pig pen two fields down and we couldn't set up there cause of horses. I left the hide and walked down to the yard to where there was a few roosting and got two for the flappers and put them to work. after that this was the result, and we where busy. the count for the day and we finished at 6 o'clock was 85 in the photo with another 20 or so still to be collected ( it started to **** from the heavens ). the two young lads didn't close their mouths all the time we where there and I would say and so did their father that they cant wait until the corn is being cut next week. they already want to get cammo clothing for the next day. a good day all around , regards ronan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet as soon as they're old enough to have their own guns the permission will be gone as they'll be busy hammering it great bit of shooting though.
