yickdaz Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) birds haven't been on our land or surrounding land for that ,matter in any numbers so making any kind of bag has been difficult to say the least compared to this time last year we had approx. 388 on the drillings in march/april but that's the way it goes todays bag was a nice surprise we went out thinking we a had a 50/50 chance of finding enough birds to go at, we had a few farms to look at knowing that drilling was ready to go in on them last weekend when we looked, we had 1 particular farm in mind to look at so went to that first, and immediately, saw birds dropping in over a hedge on to a fresh drilled barley field a few days old, barley scattered all over the field , and more birds in the distance heading up towards it so we watched for 10 mins picked a spot and setup with just static shell decoys to start well out from us due to flightline coming over our right hand side from behind we got a few and set a turbo flapper and a slower standard flapper up, very slow going to start then it picked up a little as the afternoon wore on, I moved to a small wood were I had seen birds heading into and put another half dozen in the bag, also we spotted a steady line of crows heading to the otherside of the farm couldn,t see what they were going on from were we was and had to get away by 5pm so didn,t have time to go around to find out but will have look tomorrow at them, theres still drillings to go in on another 3 farms yet, so may get a few more days on them 30 woodies 1 crow 1 feral lost a few birds also Edited April 19, 2014 by yickdaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
