Ozzy Fudd Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 you wont do that again lol. were was the clay shoot. out the tandragee road from markethill. not a registered ground or anything, just rough ground that we have use of. pretty well set up, have a few pits dug for traps and posts laid out for dtl, etc. **Please note that the use of these callers (or any other electronic caller available elsewhere) to attract birds for shooting is prohibited in the UK.

Ozzy Fudd Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 so howd we all get on? two of us went out, only got 7 kills between us, best was me blatting a grey back at 40 yards not too annoyed by the small tally though, we discovered a major crow flightline beside my mates house. the crows come in very high at dusk, out of range in fact. we put a few decoys out to try and draw them down, didnt work so we'll be looking for an, eh, legal, yeah thats the word, legal! method of attracting them down....
