woody swacker Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 i have been watching a field of spring rape which was drilled about a month ago.pigeons started to show interest when it was a couple of inches out of the ground.numbers slightly grew over a couple of weeks until the farmer decided to put out a gas gun and a huge fluorescent scarecrow,virtually killing any hope of me getting any sort of bag off of it!already suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms from not being in amongst the pigeons since february i continued to watch the field and their never seemed to be more than about 30 on it at any one time.i looked again on thursday and again their was about 40 on it but about the same got out of the trees.i decided to give it ago on saturday i turned up about 2.30 putting off about 20 birds i set up with my magnet,1 floater and 6 deaduns from out of the freezer .there was agood wind in my back and didnt have to wait long for the first arrivals smoking 5 in the first 10 minutes.packed up at 6.15 picking 36 really enjoyable woodies.the harvest cant come quick enough!!
