team tractor Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I have to tell you guys of a first for me yesterday , I had a phone call at work to get my *** up the farm after work with the shot gun and when I got there he asked me to join him in the combine . At the end of each strip I stood outside on the platform and shot the rabbits that came out the rape , so much fun even tho my gun is covered in dust .6 rabbits later and 8 shots I'm still smiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 its cracking sport, but its best to go prepared a dust mask is essential as the dust that comes up from crops does contain a lot of mould spores. Despite being grubby it is indeed great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I've often wondered why farmers don't do this as it'd be like shooting fish in a barrel, would love to give it a go with the 10+1 M2! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark they do but the simple answer is you can only cover one side of the combine the cab gets in the way for shooting the other side, and it is hellishly dusty. Ok in rape with the wind blowing towards you but try it with wheat or barley and you will end up itchy and black. Its the only thing thats ever stopped my B80 working and that was when it eventually filled with chaff. Very good sport if you have plenty of bunnies but you can find its as productive to wait till the last few acres are left and stand between the combine and the most likely cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Felt aweful all day and hope its not the dust off it. I'm very lucky as always getting invited on stuff like this as best mates farm and my old school mates own most farms or work on them locally covering 5000 acres.
