devon flighter 421 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 The rabbit trick is good but I have found it only works once or maybe twice as they learn quickly. DON'T SHOOT THEM EVERY DAY, SHOOT, LEAVE A COUPLE OF DAYS, SHOOT AGAIN AND SO ON. Crows are very smart and will soon catch on. Have a few eggs real or plastic to put on the ground in a make believe nest with a deek close by and that will work a few times. Phil spot on that ! you need to just keep slowly gnawing away at their numbers ,i used to be fortunate that i could just keep moving a few fields away through out the day ,its surprising how quickly the numbers build up in the bag 1 Quote Link to post
Rat face 1,655 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 How does the owl decoy work? do you put it out on its own on a fence posr or with some crow decoys as well? I get that the crows will mob the owl decoy. Sorry to ask so many questions but i have never done any decoying ever. Adam Quote Link to post
The one 8,395 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Put the owl decoy on a fence post with a opened up rabbit under it , the fact its out in the daylight aggravates them 2 Quote Link to post
jeemes 3,491 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I know they say dont over do the calls but try watching this bloke and his calls. Sam advises calling a lot and to not stop after you have shot a crow but carry on. I can vouch for his calls. They work if you learn how to use it properly.
