crowcaller Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 was out with my son today, must have seen a good 800 to a 1000 on a rape stubble just off our boundry, flight line was along a ditch and tree line , we could have got in the ditch but it would mean most off the birds would have been shot over standing wheat, some birds started to fly over the wood on our side after we fired a shot to see what they would do, so we set up on the wood side wind at our back, birds wanted the rape stubble it was none stop traffic over the ditch and stubble, we set 2 hides about 60 yds apart and after 30 or 40 mins, they were flighting more over my son so we shared the one hide .birds came over high and wide and slipping side ways on a strong wind we shot some very good birds and missed some we picked 27 and lost 9 or ten in standing wheat and the wood dont like losing birds but looked as good as we could , not a big bag but super sport.

Cranfield Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Good result making the best of the situation. Make a note to go and knock on that Farmers door, he will have rape in that field again in a year, or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
