Todays shoot

[Jackdaw 101]

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

my two best crow perms are in the middle of a massive valley/vale so when its windy its feckin windy

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

Windy days' I  find are not good they can turn and be out of shot in a second  when over the decoys .

I have always found that on windy days birds that turn in a second and if shot a certain amount fall  fifty to hundred yards away from the decoys .This in turn draws birds away from the decoys  also it is bad practise to  leave the hide to pick them up  because crows can see you from  a great distance  which can reduce your chance of a good day .

Been strange year so far on the blacks , they haven’t been on the pheasant feeders at all so far this year . Normally the first weeks the birds are down we are plagued with them , this year ( much to the keepers delight) they haven’t put in an appearance , be interesting to see what happens when he starts cutting the maize ..
