Eurasian Jay
About shooting eurasian jay
The Eurasian jay is a colourful corvid that is hunted to a limited extent. It is most relevant to shoot during other hunts, as its sharp alarm calls can spoil approaches to other game.
It is intelligent and difficult to approach. Hunting with decoys or at regular feeding stations in winter can provide opportunities.
