youngratter Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 My 10 year old lad wants a bash at the crows, wondering if anyone has some old ones for sale before I have to fork for new ones for him. Thanks Youngratter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Youngratter Get yourself some of this. It's the same stuff that 'For Sale' signs are made out of. You can also use ProPlex floor protector, although it's a bit thinner. I bought some from Wickes. https://www.wickes.co.uk/Proplex-Black-Surface-Protection-Sheet-1200-x-1000-x-2mm/p/151157 https://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/393639-correx-crow-decoys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 I painted some old half shell pigeons matt black and that brought then in for me, also used an Acme crow caller to help. Soon as I have Crows on ground I put on bouncer or magnet. Cheaper than buying more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngratter Posted May 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Thanks for the reply everyone, I will have to see if I have time to make some up. We've tried spraying half decoys matt black but they don't seem to work for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as you get the call right, and it does take practice the crows answer then fly over high. Call again and they circle into the decoys to land. Setting the hide up, my son putting out decoys, blowing the call, 1 lonesome bird came and landed right behind my son. Wasn't put off by him till he stood up. (It's only happened the once mind). I like the idea of the for sale signs, plenty houses round here have boards up😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
