It’s a farmyard with very little natural cover. Tried last night with magpie, and crow decoys, even used a battery pecking crow with lots of bread scattered around. Plenty of crows about but none in range, I’m sure they made recce flights over the decoys and bait and then reported back to the murder poised at a distance. All I managed to get was one solitary pigeon. I have been thinking of buying a camo tent off ebay and draping the window with my camo net; leaving it against a wall overlooking the overhead wires where they frequently perch, that is until I’m around with the rifle.

Regards, Steve All i use is full camo gear and a camo face net just find some were to sit and be still make shoor you have no skin on show were glove,s to try to find cover even if its a wall or even under a tractor or trailer and every time you go move to a different place as they will know your there crows will remember your face there not stupid birds if there is barns in the yard sit in them where you can see them but they can not see you and then its a waiting game.Once you have taken your shot they will fly off but will be back. Im lucky as there is a rookery on my perm and plenty of tree,s to sit under but on the new perm there is not alot of cover but still took care of the crows for the owner bread will work in your back yard but may not on a farm COVER is your most important thing see the farmer or land owner and ask if you can build a hide and leve it there for a few days before you use it so they can get used to seeing it now when you do use it they will fly off as i have said but just wait and they will be back my best time i find is just before dusk and dawn,DUSK they will try and fill there belly's before they sleep and DAWN they will want to fill there belly's hope this helps you steve atvbmac Quote Link to post
