That’s a great idea!Looked like alot of fun!
Next time you get a cripple dont finish him off. Have a piece of paracord with ya. Stake him down and get ready!!
I've also cut up black trash bags for decoysThat’s a great idea!
It works pretty good. I was going to buy some decoys until I seen the price. Black trash bags are way cheaper.I've also cut up black trash bags for decoys
I noticed that with the one crippled one I had. Seemed to really get the others in.one cripple will bring in more crows than 100 decoys. If they are flopping around and calling, you better have a good supply of shells, and a healthy shoulder
Awesome. I have a few short pines that I can set up around.I do a lot of crow hunting during waterfowl season after duck hunting. It’s a lot of fun that not too many people get into.
Short pine trees are your friend. It’s been my experience that crows will stay around tree top height when investigating a disturbance or something so shorter trees equals closer birds and therefore easier shots. Crows are tough birds.
They are tough to hit...and I am not that great with a shotgun...yet.There's a lot of room around a crow and I don't think I could ever hit one from a sitting position.
If this rain let’s up soon, I might try my luck a little more and see if I can get one to bring in the group.we usually put out an owl decoy on a tree limb, and hang a few pieces of black plastic around him before we start to call. If you can get a cripple in around that, you will have the time of your life.
Years ago, we were shooting crows, and a friend winged one. It couldn't fly with just one good wing, and spiraled into a pine tree about 15 yards from where I was stationed. It was flopping its good wing, and cawing at the top of its lungs. We would blow a call just every once in a while when the action slowed.
IIRC, we killed over 20 crows at that one spot. Total time set up was less than 15 to 20 minutes
