billywoodsman Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 My choice is spring,everthing starts to grow,the sound of song birds as you walk quietly along the hedgerows , the smell of jack in the hedge and the rabbits are getting more active in daylight hours that makes excellent sport and eating. But back to reality,at this moment,the wind is howling with the rain,my main permission is off limits because of the pheasant shoots,which only leaves me with a very limited amount of land to shoot. Does anyone else have this problem? Counting down the days to the end of the pheasant season and the start of spring Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Don't know if I have a favourite really,as we shoot all year round.Must admit I like being out at break of day in summer,before there's anybody else about,and hide shooting in the warmth,but can't say I prefer one over the other.All have their own particular advantages/disadvantages.Good question really,hadn't thought of it before.

Cosd Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 As much as I love being out on a nice day, I think my favourite has to be on a crisp winters day, wrapped up with a hot flask and sitting in the hide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutty Boots Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Mid Winter, early morning, a howling gale blowing the snow sideways at you whilst waiting for the geese to flight, magic. But as my mrs has said many times, I am quite insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 For rabbit shooting I like late summer. My ground is mostly arable and when the crops have just been cut the rabbits have got space to run again for the first time in months and they just can't resist it. After weeks of hard fought small bags in high vegetation serious sniping starts again and its the best time to take stock of numbers. Looking forward to trying out the NV on the stubble this year. Best time in general is May. The Horse Chestnuts are in flower, my favourite sight, the hedges and the birds are coming to life and the Roe buck season is properly under way with some wonderful dawn stalks when everything smells fresh and dewy.
