Ok, here's how our day went. First we set out the decoys and made our makeshift blinds. Posted Image

...can you see me? Posted Image

...Here's Johnny!! Posted Image

We slammed a few Posted Image

We picked everything up and had a few brews when all of a sudden we found out that this made a pretty good decoy spread too. Posted Image

so we shot a few more.Then some drunk a$$hole tried to start a fight so we whooped his ass too! Posted Image

You guys had a good day. Opening day crows are dumb that's why they fell for the beer bottle decoys. :signlol2iu:

So what's the rifle for the stragglers? :roflmao3[1]:

I know... I probably would have done the same thing. But at least he could have set the phone down and let me listen! :signlol2iu:

We hadn't seen a crow in about a half hour and as soon as I got ahold of you they bum rushed us. Sure wish you were there. :drinks:

It was a fun day my little flapper decoy seemed to work good a few crows wanted to land on it they came in with their wings cupped like ready to land I easily shot them , but struggled on the far shots, Clamp can hit hit those Long shots with ease he made me look bad LOL trap don't simulate crow flight at all !

Aparently crow shooting doesn't help my duck shooting skills much. I went out on sunday and missed the only three ducks that got close enough to shoot at all morning. :roflmao3[1]:

I can't wait to get that flapping decoy. Then I can sit my old owl decoy out in the back yard for the birds to roost on.

That flapping decoy looks great. It would be nice if they'd make it bigger but during that time of year when the chicks are hatching and some are falling out of nests because they can't fly yet, it would probably be the best decoy you could possibly use. The batteries lasted a long time too. I want one.

Hey Simon, that crow call is in the mail. Went to the PO today. Post and let us know when you receive it. Would be interesting to know how long it takes.
