Decoying

Is it worth decoying where there is no crops?
The land I hunt is mostly a roosting area for corvids and I could sit under a tree and shoot but they only come every few mins and just one or two will fly over and then nothing for 20 mins or so. And the birds are doing a lot of feeding on the cow feed so this is why I'm asking.

If its a roosting area, then you could set up under a flight line at dusk or early in the morning and shoot them as they go over you.

Crows also hate foxes if you stuck a dead one in front of you propped up on a few sticks they'ld start mobbing it or one of them hawk decoys..

i use mag decoys to bring in grey/mags, i put them beside my creep feeder for lambs with good sucess, no crops around my area at all.
i just sit back and pick them off with the .22. iv had up to 13 corvids standing round the decoys biggest prob i had was to pick one to shoot lol
