Mightymariner Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I was out today. Saw alot of birds (250) on some wheat stubble, went to some maize stubble and pushed off even more. So that's where I set up. Same field I shot 42 a week before, only managed a dozen today and ten crows. They seemed quite wary those that did come back, but there wasn't the same numbers as previously. Mind you didn't get set up till 10.30am, and it was all over by 3pm. Have to set the alarm next time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 They're still in the woods around here, there are more acorns and chestnuts on the ground than I have ever seen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Pigeons starting to congregate on my rape". Gave it a morning, shot the only two that came in to the decoys, safe to say his rape was being ignored entirely by the pigeon population!

dave1419 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Think we all need to wait for the cold weather to hit,this next month is a waste of time as the birds will all be feeding amongst the woods etc,this is the time of year to prepare all the gear for the winter shooting.A good frost on the land and good old cold days will start them on their way to the rape and stubble fields were hopefully we shall get some decent shooting.---Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply isn't the case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlander Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Haven't seen many woodies about at all on a permission but for some reason we have a field full of ferals and crows which has made up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
