Title: Crows this morning
Post by: Kain on October 02, 2010, 08:41:53 AM: Went up to look for a bear. Had hundreds of crows flying over me and decided to change gears. Set out the Spitfire and cranked "crow fight" on full blast. Within seconds had so many crows around me I was having a hard time locking on to just one. 4 rounds later 2 crows down. I would have tried for more but I only had 4 rounds of bird shot incase I saw a rabbit or grouse. They didnt seem to care about the gunshots or me moving the gun around. They just kept circling. It was RAD. :chuckle: Im gonna start carrying more rounds with me from now on.

Lookin' good on the decoys. They would be a lot easier to pack then the full size/3d ones I have .

Post by: ivarhusa on October 04, 2010, 05:43:34 PM: I wonder what a skinny profile decoy looks like from the air. Maybe a "top profile" is needed, too, to complete the effect.
