the difference 4 fields make

[rigwallet]

Well weve got three big rape fields but there barron four fields down the road the pigeons have picked them clean of rape but they still wont venture on ours. On my way to go beating on monday i saw flocks a thousand thick no more than two miles away just hope the give us a call

we have the same here, if the farmer uses one set of fields for his rape we do ok, this year he has planted on a couple of fields that they just dont come to, will have to wait till he rotates next year, never worked out why they dont like these fields but its the same every year

we have 2 areas with rape that we shoot on and another 2 fields different area that are just over the ditch from were we can shoot so hopefully we can decoy them on the boundary but there not touching any of it at the moment but they will eventually hit the rape sometime in nov/dec.

Last year i had it the same. after speaking to the farmer it turned out the farm next door had the same. he had 2 differant varieties of rape growing, one field was differant and it was that one they hit, the farm next door had all the same as this one field. so it was put down to rape variety.
