Cranfield Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Everywhere is so wet at the moment , its making my pigeon shooting harder than ever. Farm tracks and headlands are too wet to drive on and just walking around the fields (with half of it clinging to your boots) is a nightmare. Even trying to park the vehicle out of the roadway is difficult. Where are those cold, dry, frosty Winters, when at this time of year I was allowed to drive up the tractor tracks on the rape fields, to get anywhere I wanted.

sako751sg Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 We have been lucky in that we have had a good few morning frosts. Might have more snow than wet problems if this carries on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I think its the same for a lot of us Cranfield. We've been studying Google Earth trying to find the best place to park giving us the shortest walk.Last week we drove round and through an estate and found a hole in the fence. It cut a a fairly long slog down by three quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockstockandbarrel Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 The weather is just dreadful at the moment,I often think in common with many other people I am sure how nice it would be to live in a climate where you could shoot in comfort all year round, That reminds me I must get a Euro Millions ticket for Tuesday.

Dunkield Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 It's a boggy as hell round these parts too, although the wind was biting today so colder weather is on it's way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenholland Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 if it gets a bit dodgy, on some of my tracks I won't risk it, so out comes the fold up wheelbarrow I could do with a work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
