Hi im looking for the same wheres the best place to get the hypa flaps from ie best price? Thanks Sam

Hello Folks, Just wondered if anyone was shooting over this years drilled rape already as its all coming up fast, Its all i have worth any shooting on my own permission at the moment as all stubble has gone now!!

Could you send me a better picture of this please if easier send to sam.Bennett.11@Hotmail.co.uk is it in perfect condition thanks sam

Great day sounds wonderful all in all, what land were you shooting on stubble, drilling etc thanks for the write up!

I agree JAM1E happens all the time on here i had it happen with a gun made an offer it was accepted then someone offers more and the seller says " IM NOT SELLING IT ANY MORE" lol yeah ok!!

Exactly my thinking "ShropshireSam" I shall let you know how I get on im due a decent pigeon shoot by now lol

umm may see if I can leave off a little earlier and Decoy for a couple of hours then sit in the nearby trees which they love and see what I can get coming into roost then thank you for your replies hopefully will get a decent bag.

Hi Guys, Just curious as to what the general opinion is I leave work at 5 everyday but have to travel 30mins to permission once set up would probably be 6pm before I started, would there still be birds around at this time? is it worth it? Any response much appreciated may go tomorrow evening.

Hi, I use half choke seems to work well for me on most birds and shooting situations. Thanks Sam

On Sunday I was happily sitting in my hide when a man and women trundled across the nearby foot path all seemed fine, as I looked again she continued to pull her trousers down and have a wee while her partner in crime checked for local activity. (He didn't see me so hide must have been good) Just another day in the field....

Well... there wasn't many options due to a tractor on the rape stubble so set up on the drilling bagged 16 in a couple of hours loads of birds on the field when I arrived but only returned very slowly thanks for the replys guys. Gave me a chance to use the new gun and have an enjoyable afternoon off work

Morning Folks, The farmer I shoot for has recently drilled rape straight into the wheat stubble would this be a good shooting ground or is it best to stay on the old rape stubble, looking to get out this afternoon and un decided on the best place to set up as recently birds a very few and far between here in Suffolk. Thanks Sam

Hi Skye, Me 2 having the same problem not many lifting from any crop around my permission in the Woodbridge area, rape and wheat cut just getting small bags, on the other hand lamping rabbits at night have had 132 of 4 fields in two nights getting through some serious amounts of cartridges!! Love the harvest time

Good morning all, May be a silly question however I shall ask anyway! I cant get to my permission in the week till around 6pm how many hours shooting will I get this time of year is it worth setting up at this time? Thanks Sam

I totally agree J Dog will probably have to adjust due to the sun and find a suitable piece of shade near a high hedge before I set up I will check lines for a while and hopefully will have a good day on the gun tomorrow!

I see that a lot of people start with the plastic deeks mine don't shine as I have managed to take the shine off them and when on the drilling earlier in the year birds would land next to the plastic deeks I will report how I get on tomorrow having studied the area a few times I know where I need to be so just hope I get some good shooting,

UMM Interesting I have never had a problem with the plastic deeks before however going out tomorrow afternoon so will use more real birds as have some frozen ready thanks for the advice!

Hi Rich, Looks like rape stubble should be good for you, I have my decoys set up in the 'U' using 12 plastic shells and a few dead birds. The birds that did decoy decoyed a dream and I was really pleased just so many went over and wernt interested!

Hi Yes one was right over head and there is also one across the middle of the field plenty of birds along them just keep on flying.....

There has been 100-150 pigeons feeding and constant stream overhead just rarely does only 1 or 2 decoy or come into range resulting in a small bag.

11 Yesterday afternoon on rape stubble Total - 7055

Thanks for the replys going out again Friday afternoon between 2-7 see how it goes I guess this will again be on rape stubble as Farmer has a lot of rape in the ground this year! Anyone got any suggestions for best set up rotary, flapper etc how many decoys?

I live at Rendlesham so not far from you but I shoot over near Claydon on my uncles farm hes got over 1000 Acres rape, barley and wheat combined ive spoke to a few people locally who shoot everyone seems the same its rather bizarre for this time of year.
