Popgun Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Went out tuesday on drilled barley about 200 birds on the field when i got there a big field about 40 acres set up under a hedge with the wind over my right shoulder plenty of grain on the surface, just set the decoys out and the rain started it rained for 2 hours all i shot was 3 crows and 1 pigeon then the rain stopped and a few pigeons started to come to the decoys shot another 28 in the next 2 hours then it hissed down so i packed up me and the Cocker came home soaked to the skin still the Cocker needed the work. this morning i breasted of the pigeons, had a look at there crops there some on wheat some on barley some on old maze from the game cover strips some on clover some on rape and 2 on ivy berries a bit of a mixed bag.

Cranfield Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 The crop contents you found show just what a choice of food they have at the moment, thats one of the reasons they don't seem to stay in one place very long this time of year, unless you are very lucky.
