Jackdaw

Went out this morning with the intention of decoying a few crows,it was very slow shot one then decided to walk the hedgerows with the .410 hushpower.Managed a nice brace of coloured pigeons lol.

Nice couple of hours,flew wide and high but managed to bag one over the homemade decoys.

Nice couple of hours this morning,birds decoyed well.Plenty of geese around to might have a crack at them next time.

Thanks for your input FW but I've shot corvids for well over 15 years and know the pit falls,I just like shooting in windy conditions to make the target more challenging but each to there own. I must be doing something right I average between 2/3 thousand birds a year lol

That bag was taken on this year's maize stubble,still plenty about to have a crack at,just need the weather to behave when I'm not working to have another bash at them.

That's my point mate,who likes an easy shot lol.

I must admit I always find corvids decoy better in windy conditions, it also helps cover the noise of the shot.

We all need a little motivation at times mate,as I get older I find it difficult to leave the quilt on cold mornings lol

Well after 2 weeks on holiday i thought i better pop up my perm and show my face. Must be 12 months since I took the 12g out,always seem to favour the .410 Husher lol. But I managed to drop a few with the 12g

Really lol,well I've been to Kenya twice and done quite a few of the areas,Nanuki,Lake Baringo,Don dol,Mount Kenya,Archers Post,Kathendini,Nairobi and quite a few of the game reserves,and was always advised to stay in a group of 4 minimum where possible.

Yep me to mate,unscrew the mod shake all the bits of plastic wad out lol,all the loose carbon ,coat the thread with oil and screw back up. I know it's best to use fibre wad shells,but they ain't that easy to get hold of,so I just stuff plastics through mine.

Has one been stripped and cleaned? I find it's better to let the carbon build up in the Mod to quieten it down.

Lots of pigeons building up on my perm,but as always as soon as its chopped they will probably disappear lol,ain't that always the way.

Yep it's pretty difficult to build big bags with so much food around,but the wheat is due cut shortly so fingers crossed should provide some sport on the pigeons.
