Crow_Killer 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I know quite a bit about crow decoying. I use 6 hide pole just in case i need to put a roof on the hide and i use stealth netting and realtree netting for the roof or background netting. I use a variety of decoys, i use flock coated decoys and a variety of flappers, magnets, peckers etc. the pattern i use depends on what pattern the actual crows are feeding like on the field and put the patern out about 15 to 20 yards away depending if there are tall trees blocking the view of the crows. the cartridges i use is a 28g 7.5s in the first barell and 32g 6's in the second barell Quote Link to post
bignoel 14 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 get under a flight path pic of a few and use the dead ones as decoys works a treat. also a flapper they love it i found a magnet works better on laid wheat/barley they cant resist it .goodluck Quote Link to post
