Crows...bear with me

[Freddie17]

I already have a stack of crow decoys. When i used shoot them, i used to put egg shells and kitchen waste amongst them to lure them in. Always wanted to try mirrors but sadly that would be illegal.

The cardboard i had on rear window must have blew off in the wind last night as it was gone when i left to go to work at 3.00am and when i got home (you couldn't make this up) there was a huge crow sitting on rear wiper pecking at it. The front and rear nearside windows showed signs of crow attack.

Im really getting fed up now.

In all seriousness, I’ve found that eggs work well near to decoys too.

I've got a Primos crow caller which is 100% effective. I used to call crows in from a wood on a farm i used to shoot to get them in range. 34gms of no5 shot ended them.

But 36 gms of 4 shot ends them betterer

My shooting mate bought a ‘crow caller’ at the shooting show this year. Sounds more like a bl00dy duck!

You need to practice. Don't blow it like your playing a trumpet. Almost growl into the caller. I've stood in my garden and called crows in.

I remeber Mrs wanted a few shots of high driven clays,well I forgot the spare shells that day were 36grms 9’s (used as range finders)
She gave both barrels to the clays and me afterwards.
I chuckled and put some 24g 8 in for the next pair.

I’ll tell him that.
At the moment, it’s mildly entertaining listening to him make a fool of himself in a hide

Have a trawl around local garage workshops asking for wipers they've replaced.

Then set up some sacrificial wiper blade 'artwork' to draw then away from your car.
