DIY Decoy Cradle

[@Sharpshooter724]

Made one of these a few weeks ago and it worked great bringing in magpies that were sent to bird heaven, just made another 4 today, cheers for posting the video mate 👍

[@HuntersVermin]

No prob glad that you found it so useful.

[@turbobarrels]

Thanks David. I always thought your own cradles made great realistic presentation and was hoping you’d pop this on at some point. Corvids are so smart and are quick to smell a rat,,,,,this is as good as it gets!

[@HuntersVermin]

Thanks glad you found it useful.

[@keithhaynes8079]

Thank you David I am going to make a few of these ready for the crow and jackdaw season, stay safe mate.

[@HuntersVermin]

Thanks and the same to you.

[@mikew42906]

[@HuntersVermin]

Glad you found them useful.

[@karltemple1971]

Superb instructional video (as always David👍) many thanks.

[@HuntersVermin]

Very welcome.

[@taylorroarkpayton]

I love your videos, I’m always glad to see you upload. Been watching you for years, glad to see the PC culture/KZbin hasn’t tried to take you down.

[@HuntersVermin]

Much appreciated!

[@donaldlundy345]

Great video David that is an awesome decoy stand thank you for doing it and you are right the metal coat hangers are harder to come by.

[@HuntersVermin]

Thanks for watching.

[@684ih4]

I made one when I saw your first video on this, it's a fantastic bit of kit and well worth the money!.( you can shorten those rivets with a hacksaw if you dismantle them,I've often done it if I just need a few )

[@HuntersVermin]

Ahh man why didn't i think of that thanks for the tip i know now what to do if i'm stuck with too long a pot rivet again.

[@leecolclough2492]

Excellent tutorial I remember my dad teaching me this in slightly different way When I was a kid cheers Lee

[@HuntersVermin]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@robertpage4123]

Been meaning to make one, taught i was going to have to try find the video you made way back when you first showed us🙂, thanks mate👍 keep up the good work. Stay safe

[@HuntersVermin]

You’re welcome hope you found it useful 😊

[@Acutus3399]

Dude! Thanks so much for this! Been trying to up my game with the crows here. This helps bigtime!

[@HuntersVermin]

Glad I could help!

[@oldmuddygun]

Nice job hey, much better decoy presentation than the old method of putting a sharp stick in the ground and sticking the other end up the magpies aaahh well, how times have changed. Lol atb muddy

[@HuntersVermin]

Thanks 👍

[@pavelklein1453]

And what about plastic decoy ? Are they magpies come to plastic decoy too ??

[@HuntersVermin]

Yes plastic decoys work as well but sometimes as i found if you use them a lot the birds soon get used to them and wont go near them.

[@donaldmarks8707]

Look forward to the next tip David. :-)

[@HuntersVermin]

Might have to get my thinking cap on.

[@philchapman9484]

Clever cheers Jim 👍😁😁😁🦆🦆

[@HuntersVermin]

Thank you.

[@MicaelSantana450]

very good Idea! I Live in Portugal, could I legaly go to england / Ireland And go hunting with a Sub 12 ft/Lbs gun? Would I need a registration of my gun/Permit to hunt? Especially my Own airgun tuned down to under 12 ft/lbs? Sure in this Pandemic Period it´s no option, but probably in Future Thanks a lot and greetings from Portugal :)

[@HuntersVermin]

That is a good question as JH has said you don't need a licence to own a sub 12ft/lb air rifle in England but you could have problems bringing one into the country and the laws are different in Northern Ireland and Ireland as you need an FAC fire arms licence to own an air rifle even a sub 12ft/lb. You could try contacting the BASC for advice as i have asked them a few questions myself in the past and they have been very helpful.

[@jimf1964]

Gonna have to start calling you Handy Andy 🙂 Really nice, and easy, but could you not put the legs on the inside to hide them, or would that make it too hard to work with?

[@HuntersVermin]

Man what ever happened to Handy Andy anyway, Yes i'm sure you could twist the wire around a bit farther so that they were on the inside but it is thin wire so the birds would need to be close to see it and by that time they would be well within range.

[@genebraaksma]

Are you still in lock down up in Northern Ireland? Does that mean you can't go out even to hunt if you are all alone? If so a real bummer.

[@HuntersVermin]

Yes we are still in lockdown in Northern Ireland but we are allowed to do essential bird and mammal pest control but to be honest i have only really been going to the farms that have phoned me looking help with a problem.
