Zeddicus: For placing sentinel decoys way up, I've been thinking of using fiberglass sectional poles or telescoping poles. The one you show on your Some Random Pics from Germany and Ireland thread is quite nice. What is its construction? After a quick search or two on the Internet, I haven't found an...

Call yesterday morning: "Am sick, can't make it, you're on your own!" So, hit the accelarator! Blind up, got annoyed with Sentinel poles (bending ), Decoys up, car moved, run back, sentinel put up properly, into blind, mask, gloves, hearing protectors, lanyard on, gun loaded......

After getting back Saturday from our first shoot of the season with my dad, my mom took me out to have a look at an old magnolia tree in their yard... It appears that a crow placed a pecan in the split of a limb to hold a pecan..The hole doesn't look like "pecked open" nuts I usually see in orcha...

We shot a peacan orchard this morning and picked up 45.. Only two made it to the woods that will probably not make it thru the night.. Only had a few call shy birds and most decoyed well.. Had some very long shots from very high. up. I shot #6's 1 1/4 oz(Remington Shur Shot) / my partner shot #5's 1 3/8oz (Ke...

Hi boys, On Friday, Texas Matt and I made a first time visit to a new property he obtained that requested our free crow control services. We dropped 32 crows on this morning and at 1:30 in the afternoon, just before leaving we tried our fourth and final varmint calling stand of the day. The first 3 were...

I shot a pecan orchard last weekend and killed 60 crows in horrible fog. The farmer called this week and said I didn't make a dent. I was thinking about going and busting them again in the morning. Is that too soon? If I go, I plan on setting up in the other end of the orchard. It has I guess about 75 trees in it...

Had two pretty good hunts this weekend. Got 60 Saturday despite heavy fog and 83 on Sunday.

Redditch · Redditch

So, set up on a new field this morning in the dark, set the decoys up to the right, of me, meaning I should have the farm house on the left, and a clear field of fire to the front, right, and rear. As the light appeared I discovered to my front a gap in the trees, and about 150 metres from me in his g at the back of th...

Stupid high wind this morning, pushing 50kph (30 mph). Crows didn't seem to move much, just lots soaring and fun & frolic a mile north along a tree line. They just seemed to stay put. Managed to put the hammer on 12 with one double though. The first bird of the double went down squalling so I went over t...

We set up Sunday evening and tried to follow as much of the advice you guys offered as we could. Wound up killing 5 (should have been 8 or 9 with better shooting; less choke next time!). Not big numbers but we're hunting a group of about 100 birds. They're local "Southern" birds that have be...

I decided to visit several of my farms this year and get some hides built prior to season. My favorite place to hunt has a 200 acre bottom in it. I pulled up to the farmers place and he was glad to see I was after his crows. I notice that he had'nt gotten his corn out. I told him I was out building hides but would...

Went on a dove shoot yesterday. A good dove shoot There was about 9 guys hunting a 200 acre cut corn field. LOTS of birds!!!! We started shooting and after about 40 minutes the birds got real smart real quick, odd for this early in the season. I reached in my bag and screwed in my open water choke from Angle...

So, the farmer texted me this morning and asked me to set up on a field near a bunch of antis as he was having problems with crows there ( note, these antis have reported people to police and lost them their gun licences, they make a habit of reporting anything, and also stand with tins and bang loudly on the...

Here you can see the difference in size between a NORMAL sized Jackdaw and a MEDIUM sized Grey and a MEDIUM sized Carrion. You can appreciate that these two species are very difficult to kill, especially once they get to this size and larger. Then you can hit them with 7.5 and they just shrug it off if at...

Well, got up at 04:30 and was set up on the field with my shooting partner Gareth by 06:00. Unlike Saturday the day started very slow. By 11:00 I had 19 birds, and my oppo Gareth had 9. For some reason the birds just weren't appearing, and Jose that did were rarely decoying. So at 11:00 Gareth said he was cal...

Hi lads, what is your favourite crow call, the one you would not want to be without (mouth blown, not electronic) and why? I am looking for loud, low and raspy! Same for ducks. I was thinking about Duck commanders: (Ole raspy, the sarge or green mile) or some haydels because they are inexpensive an...

Another 17 corvids and 4 pigeons in trees, adjacent fields, and hedges (wasn't going to crawl amongst barbed wire, Norns, nettles, brambles, or climb trees to recover them). Wasn't. Too bad seeing as I was on my own, a floater pole broke, my whirly cable got shot though after 30 minutes, and my caller j...

I have shooting access to a field where I see crows (100 or so) feeding in the evening (an hour or two before dark).
