B725 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) I've just been out for three hour's and reduced the corvids by 16, it's been nice out but now getting too hot. I had a hare come within 4 foot of the hide been listening to the bird's and saw an all Orange butterfly never seen one like it. Forgot to add picture of the hare.

Lloyd90 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Well done mate I am tempted to get some Ladder traps up on our shoot, one of the lads in Ireland has about 300+ corvids since the end of the season. I can only see a massive benefit to game birds as well as all other wild life from that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted May 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) There was one crow in particular it had a white streak ( must be related to the Mallon's ) that I wanted to shoot as it had been hassling a pewit, the only chance I had also had the pewit close by trying to get the crow to move away .

7daysinaweek Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 A few less black marauders is always a good thing and what a wonderful experience having Hartley hare in such close proximity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Driving to work last week a hare was going over a motorway bridge and silhouetted by the rising sun, it looked very serene, love seeing hares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Saw a piece in the Telegraph where the police had been called in to investigate who had hung some crows up in a field. It did say that this was a normal way of detering any other crows but the police where spending time trying to discover who it was responsible, to " have words" ......no pun, but words fail me.

Surely that down to the farmer and he could of simply put them right! Have always done it if farmer asks. It's legal! I have always broke there wings and hung them by the feet to swing/spin/flap in the wind from a low springy/green stick so as not to interfere with sprayer. Or hang them upside down on stock fence or entrance. If that didn't work i shot em! . . . . Great bag FH! keep at them. WJ on the war path again on all fronts and fully funded! Lot of jacks about this year! NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds were still coming in 😡 Birds decoyed in text book fashion , using the Primos power crow call , the jackdaw call is deadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
