ollie Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 This is a pic of myself on a days decoying in the summer (just found it). Me and my mate shot 12 pigeons, 62 rooks & jackdaws and 1 grey crow. We could have shot about 200 more rooks and jackdaws but we gave them a break for a while to try and let the pigeons get in, the rooks and jackdaws were everywhere, when we were shooting them we were able to stand up in the hide in full view and they still came to us. The day before there was about 100 pigeons in it but they didn't all come in on the day we were shooting. A good days sport and a nice pigeon pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Never known anyone to get that many corvids Ollie. How did you deke for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I had a standard horseshoe pattern for the pigeons and to the right of that I had 3 crow deeks out. I then set out the dead birds. They were relentless, one flock came in and my mate and I dropped a right and left each and reloaded, they swung back around and we dropped another right and left each. After a while I lifted the crows in to try and let the pigeons come in but the jackdaws and rooks were still bombing into the field. I don't get a lot of opportunities where I live to decoy pigeons because of the terrain and arable countryside, but the jackdaws and rooks are in thousands.
