Ultrastu Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I went out early Sunday morning over a barley stubble to join my mate who was already set up in the corner of a field to try and get some crows that seem to be in plauge numbers round our way at the moment. I set up under a tree and put out 12 flocked crow deeks and 8 full bodied pige .the crows came in nicely in small groups of 2 or 3 ..and I shot well with my sa. Getting a fair few pairs and some long range shots also . Nsi 32 grm no6 in 20b . Scores were 15 crows and 3 pige Then today I had a cheeky after work 1.5 hours on a diced stubbed with the .410 single hushpower .I just sat in a corner of a field in a leaf suit with a few crow deeks out . I had 10 crows and 2 pige .and didn't miss much . Love those quick impromptu sessions where its almost like taking the crows by surprise..

B725 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Nothing better than thinning out the crows 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Its amazing how much they stink. Just a hand full of them pong , they have a sweet pungent smell almost like a large wheely bin behind a shop . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Crows need a good thinning out. Good effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 👍 It’s surprising what you can achieve on corvids by just sitting in the bottom of a hedgerow. We used to have some good mornings stood with our backs to thick hawthorn and elderberry bushes alongside an abandoned railway; the crows would fly over from behind to ratch about in the cow pats. We got into the 30’s and 40’s many a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Tried again this evening on a very similar field as yesterday just 1/4 a mile away , and had one shot in 1.5 hours at a jd which crumpled from a .410 high pheasant . Have to strike while the iron is hot eh . Anyway the sun was shining and it was very pleasant to be out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
