After checking a pecan orchard that harvested nearly 250 crows in three hunts last year, I knew it would be slow. No irrigation, hot summer and no fertilizer equals very few nuts. But I’ll be leaving out of town for a few days and didn‘t want to wait. I put up the blind yesterday and talked a coworker into going with me. We started the setup at first light... decoys, gear, ammo and the FF5 flapper.
It was slow for awhile until a large group of fish crows came over. Did I tell you about how much they are attracted to the FF5? By the time they got enough of the barrage, we had added 12 more to our TBC!! After that, a few more dribbled in so we decided to pack it up at 11:00.
While taking pictures, a second group of fish crows came over, but we had already packed up the decoys and flapper 😞. Nevertheless, we chalked up another 7 crows for a total of 45 crows. Well worth the time to set up and get up early.
