steve_b_wales Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 If I am shooting Crows/Pigeons, I put them out in their groups - keeping the crows about 15 yards from the pigeons. Also, if there are fence posts where you shoot, place some crow decoys on 1 or 2 of them. I also put some magpie decoys close to the crow decoys, or on the posts.

petera Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Same as previous reply. Even though I do not have many crows on my shoot and do not set out to shoot them, I always put out about 5 crow decoys in a group away from the pigeons. I am sure I picked up this tip from this site and I think the reasoning behind it ws that crows are far more suspicious than pigeons therefore if the pigeons see the crows they may think it it safer. Whether this is true or not I don't know but it certainly doesn't seem to do any harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
