I sat the FoxPro up next to a wooded hillside and then I sat across the field about a hundred yards away in the edge of the brush along the creek. After trying various calls and about 35 minutes, nothing came so I thought I would see if I could bring in a crow and turned on the crow/owl fight. After about 4-5 minutes, six crow came in and started raising heck, only they stayed in the top of the trees. If one decided to come down lower where I had a backdrop to shot against, I was going to take the shot.
Well, after about 7-8 minutes, one landed down low enough for a shot. I was shooting a Rem. model 78 Sportsman in .243 that used to be my dad's with 65 grain V-MAX's. I cranked the scope up and cross haired the crow. At the shot, there was a puff of feathers. The crow didn't fall, but was hanging upside down. It was still hanging there when I left about 35 minutes later.
The crow was 116 yards away. You can see it hanging in the tree and the black dot at in the edge of the weeds is the FoxPro.
Zoomed in.
From the FoxPro back to the creek where I was sitting.
I walked up on the hill to get a closer look at the crow and took a picture. If you look close, you can see day light through the crow. There wasn't much left of it's main body.
