    Depends on the vermin mate
    What's on the land?
    Also make sure you know what's vermin and what's not as likes of pigeons have season unless they are doing crop damage

    They're not too bad on crows and pigeons if decoying and they come in close but they have very little range. They're made for clays.

    As garv said they'd need to be fairly close and for decoying their grand and cheap aswell but as said need to be close enough

    You need to be an extremely good shot to use 28g and take a bird down if they were 7's if the bird was a bit out .Best stick to the 32g.the 28g spread quicker so you need a bit of power behind them and if the bird is a little bit out your lead has to be spot on or you just bust them or wing them
