bum belly beak bang! Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Last sunday i was decoying over rape. In the morning i had a lot of shots, in the afternoon around 1pm until about 5pm i had nothing at all. In the woods about 500yrd away there were 600-800 woodies, in a smaller wood there was 300-400, and to top it all flying to a drilled field about 300yrds away was around 1000+. Eventualy all decended on to the drilled field, this started about 2pm and went on for the rest of the day. Would a magnet have helped, or was the drilling the magnet?:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deako Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 I would think that it was the drillings.By now the birds are sick of the brassicas,which give them next to no nutrition,and go mad for spilt grain,which has more energy for less effort.See if you can get on the drillings before they hoover it up! :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Deako's right mate! Get yourself over to those drillings pronto! 1000+ birds is an opportunity not to be missed. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 Get on the drill if you can! I find this the best part of the year for good sport!The problem with drill is it doesn't take them long to clear the field.If you can, walk the field & see how much spill there is,this should give you an idea how long the field will last.
