Catamong Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Don't bother when it's 2' tall, it's now too tall for them, find a patch around the edge or the corners of the field where the birds have grazed it off down to a few inches tall and set up there. If there are no grazed off patches then find yourself another field. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoughton Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 One of my farmers pointed me to the corners where it is a little flattened and they have been getting onto it. Not the easiest area to shoot though and I always lose too many birds in taller rape. But if it's the only opportunity you have at the moment, go for it!
