420W Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I had the chance to use my SBEII today, I went after some crows the gun worked very well and the recoil wasn't noticable at all. So far i'm pleased with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch-M Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 So, how did the crows feel about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FN_FAL Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I think they "croweked". All be here all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420W Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 They felt real good till they hit the ground. I had my caller crow decoys and an old red "T" shirt (looks like blood) works every time. I like to watch them torpedo into a snow drift at 40 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch-M Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 What choke and shotgun shells were you using? And how close/far were your shots? I've only dropped a few crows that happened by when I was duck hunting. And ... I got into a group once at about 200 yards out in a field when I was moving through the woods for another woodchuck setup with my 22-250. Dropped one and the rest went insane ... after a couple more met their maker; they gave up their allegiance to the fallen comrades and took off. When I was a kid I chased those critters all over three mountains in the Catskills each weekend trying to shotgun one of them ... with zero success. I now use the owl decoy to keep birds out of the garden and the crow decoys are used as confidence decoys on my duck boat. Here's a link I picked up years ago ... www.crowbusters.com.

420W Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 I was using the full choke that came with the gun. Just used 2 3/4 assorted shells i never get fancey when i go for crows the shots were 40 to 45 yards crows are easy to kill. I dont own a owl decoy, but i have hunted with guys that do they seem to work when used with the crow and owl fight tape. I have the best luck with fighting crows and crow distress i also use a moth call. It is best to keep switching between all of them.
