Air Rifle Hunting, Controlling Corvids Through Covid

I am hopping to decoy hooded crows into range of my FAC air rifle to try and control their numbers as the farmer contacted me asking for help with a hooded crow problem as one of his lambs had been killed by crows.
This is all done on farm land that i have permission to do so on with legally held air rifles and is done in a legal and humane manner as not to prolong or glorify the death of the birds.
