mrpip Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Just got in myself managed 9 on wheat stubble 500 plus feeding on rape stubble that has been part bailed on niebouring farm, no way they were going to move off that field. One frustrating day, bloke who shoots it can't be bothered, his loss. Still enjoyed my day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mightymariner Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 We had five hours on two rape stubbles that did have a lot of birds on earlier in the week, we ended with 16. Little wind, very frustrating as the birds didn't seem interested in decoying. And these are the only two rape stubbles left on the farm.

sitsinhedges Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) I had 12 in 2hrs late this afternoon on wheat stubble but they seem to be very thin on the ground round these parts and not desperately interested in the decoys. Good news is that I hardly missed a bird All full of rape, wheat and a bit of clover Edited August 12, 2011 by sitsinhedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 A hard afternoon on disced rape stubble for 26 pigeons. Very high winds and the birds didn't want to decoy, everything I shot was passing by. All the wheat stubbles had balers and lorries on them, so I had to leave them for another day.

Tim Kelly Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Had a day out yesterday in great conditions, but the birds really weren't playing. Moved 3 times and ended up with 15 and a rook. Spending a weekday in a hedge with the dog and TMS on the radio really isn't a tough thing, even if the birds weren't too interested in interrupting Blowers' ramblings!

barrie0 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Very quiet at the moment for me in Gloucestershire. Had a good session about a month ago when the crows were attacking the barley and I ended up with 21 but since then they have not returned. The farmer has hardly had any damage at all this year. Went to the permission again today and ended up with three crows decoyed on a grass field but ended up snapping one of my bloody hide poles as the ground is so hard.
