Cookiemonsterandmerlin. Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 As with protom I have had alot of birds showing on standing wheat anywhere there is power lines. I arrived late 1945hrs to find birds pouring into the wheat as first it seems impossable to shoot without major damage to crop but a little walk out into the wheat revealed a massive 4 acre short and poor area that at best was 12 inchs high . I could setup under the telegraph poles without causing damaged to wheat and the plus side of some short canes made the birds stand out well. The whirly was useless as the ground was like concrete and I could not get it in the ground I thin I would have shot even more if I could have set this up. I will go up the week and drill a hole ready I think there is a 100 plus bag to come in the next week as I managed 42 in under a hour with ease. I have some picts but its hard to see how poor the crop and where the birds have beaten it down, not much return per acre on this field. All the best OTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
