anser2 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) In my area of N Norfolk the wood pigeons have yet to really start on rape in any numbers. I have seen one rape field being hit ( well outside my shooting area.) I have just been roost shooting , managed 14 and the birds were stuffed with acorns and wheat. I suspect the latter is from a pheasant feeder rather than from any stubbles. This is the first time i have been pigeon shooting since August stubble shooting . Until now the oak woods I shoot in have been well leafed , but last weeks gale brought most of them down . I was surprised at the numbers I saw and shot like a fool. I guess using after using a semi\auto for wildfowling all autumn it will take a day or two to point my s\s in the right place.

Dahonis Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Some fields in County Durham seem to have a few birds on the rape, however over the border in N.Yorks I have yet to see good numbers. My last three outings have produces very little apart from crow's, they seem to be everywhere at the moment.
