proTOM1 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Its never easy this time of year ,things i do to help me on a day is plenty of reccon for a start maybe a good 3 to 4 hours each day and about 4 or more days before i shoot the field . Flag off and banger rope other fields if possible and flag off the other end of the field im going to shoot and for me getting there at first light if poss to get them coming in smaller numbers and before they turn into 1 big flock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 It is hard to build big bags at the moment for most of us, as the birds are very spooky and will take off for the slightest reason. I keep on the move and if the birds don't return in 30 minutes, I move to another field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
