dead-eye-dick Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 :what: I don't know about you, but i'm having real trouble finding anything to shoot, since I've been back from hols i've had a couple of 'recie' trips around my main fields, rape(still standing). But have seen no more than 5 or 6 birds.... As far as I can see they are sitting in trees eating the young leaves. :grumpy: Sould I spend more time sat at the edge of the field squinting like a pervert through my binoculars or wait until the rape is cut?? Is the cut rape as good as is made out or am I clinging to false hope?? :grumpy: I haven't seen a decent flight line ,to encorage me to set up my hide, for well over a month. :grumpy: and i'm starting to suffer withdrawl symptons. :( ... How are you boys getting on ? ... or must I try harder ?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 I have made similar comments about our area. 2-3 weeks time they will start to cut the rape. Decoying over rape stubble can be some of our best shooting. Next comes wheat stubble and then its sowing rape again. :( I tend to write-off the period of May-June-part July.

dead-eye-dick Posted June 28, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Thanks Cranfield, I was kind of hoping you would reply with a simular kind of post, after seeing those flight lines that day they have just dissapperd. :( I have spent hours watching fields and not seen anything which you could say was a patten.....still look foward to the cutting of the rape.....then fill the freezer....stocks getting low.. :evil: :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
