As far as I'm aware the use of decoys for attracting crows in to shoot them is illegal.............decoys only allowed for pigeons, duck & geese...........serious omission considering they do as much damage, if not more, than pigeons.

i was on a small road in donabate today down near the sea this morning and seen a hawk not sure what type dive into the ditch and 5 or 6 crows flying around him i thought he had grabbed one but anyway the crows retreated to the phone line and hawk jumped back out and stood in front of the van he looked terrified after a few seconds he took off again and no and behold the crows were on his tail i thought it was gas i never seen this happening before id say a hawk decoy is worth a try after seen that racket
