UKPoacher Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Been out this afternoon and saw that the pigeons have too much choice. They weren't concentrating on any particular field, just thirty or forty on each of the barley stubbles. Managed a coupleof dozen ferals on one field then switched and got as many again in woodies. Nice for the dog to get some retrieving exercise on stubble though. Once the rape is cut it will be better shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanker Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Still waiting for wheat here - rape still the food of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I wouldn't put money on that :blink: We've only got two fields of rape and three of wheat against ten or so barley. I'm expecting a bonaza on the big rape field if it drops right with my shifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
