RE: Deer Season Over (Where I Live)
Deer season is coming close to an end with about 3-4 weeks left. Ducks are now in so that will satisfy me through Jan. thenI'm after BLACK BIRDS!!!! Yea call me crazy but no better way to keep up with shooting skills for doves year round than shooting grackles and starlings!The only time I don't"hunt" black birds is the 3 weeks when the gobblers are full game! Love some turkey hunting!
Back tothe black birds, my buddyandI used to go to the river bottoms andshoot black birds all the time (farmers I think love us for that). He showed me 2 years ago how to get them to come in like ducks.He made 150-200 black bird decoys from cardboard, black spraypaint, and wire formini-stakes. They work like a charm and make for someextra fun when there isn't anything else in season. And no we don't eat them, we leave for the coyotes, racoons, etc. Just kill'em for fun cuz they sh*t everywhere and are annoying. Try it some time!Take10 minsto makea few decoys, and 2 mins to set'em up, believe me pretty cool when you get a couple hundred birds flocking into the decoys.
