Cookiemonsterandmerlin. Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Started early on some barley today recce yesterday large numbers but the field was being rolled . So gave it a try today after a very slow start only 19 by 12ish the birds started to move in mass . The wind was good warm sun lovely finished with 161 before drizzle stopped play. No whirly just good old deeks . There was hardly any barley left and was well rolled in . All the best OTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know how many rounds I fired but the birds where very lariy for drilling and spooked like they had been well shot before .

I wish I could get out anytime the weather and birds were just right. Still, hardly any Spring drillings around my area, everythings in Winter wheat or barley. Cat.

Cookiemonsterandmerlin. Posted March 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Self employed gardening landscaping patios etc. Not as much drilling round this way as earlier years but this has concerntrated the birds . The birds are still more on the rape but with tonights rain I expect them to change over now the corn has a rinse. OTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benelli montefeltro Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 dont get so touchy there, im only stating a fact, you did waffle on about restraint during the coldest spell of the weather, and now you are out shooting hundred bags in the spring. i just wonder if you could explain your reasoning behind this. you should have said at the time im holding back from the birds because it is too cold for me, and it is harder to get a good day at that time of year. and that you were just holding on to spring when its much warmer and i have a better chance of a huge bag. you said all these daft things oth, not me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) Or showing the birds some respect when they were struggling for survival, but now they are doing damage at a time of year that isn't mid-Winter they are being controlled under the general licence as a pest species. Not purely as a 'sporting' species like you think of the woodpigeon as. FM Edited March 21, 2010 by Ferret Master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
