Merlin64 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Got set up at 12.00 on rape stubble . Used a rotary for first time , birds were soaked and bedraggled and did not look convincing . Put flapper out and drew 4 in . Enjoyed it though .Still cannot find a proper waterproof coat ,only Barbours do the best job I think.

Sprackles Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I was out yesterday and I had my full length Drizabone coat on coupled with a leather hat. It took a few hours but eventually the water got through. Had barbours before and in the same conditions, you will get wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried brolly and birds could see me on the inflight and turn away even though I am completely still and camo'd up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
