Sausagedog 7,381 Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Dawn raid on the crows this morning. There was not many on the maize stubble yesterday when my granddaughter and I set the blind up. I managed to get 34 I think, lost some and for about 40 cartridges which isn't bad for me. The new technique was my granddaughter's idea. Bait them in! 6 Quote Link to post

foxdropper 17,092 Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Trouble I find with maize stubble is they clear it very fast .Everything’s on show and no rooting about for it .Every time lately I’ve seen a good field of crows or pigeons they are gone next day l Quote Link to post

philpot 4,925 Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 I must admit that I love crow shooting over deeks but I normally shoot on maize when the shoots are just coming through as the birds seem very intent on getting as much as possible. Bloody good kill to cartridge ratio. Phil 1 Quote Link to post
