yickdaz Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) 2 of us headed out again today stopped off at a perm were the birds have just appeared from nowhere around 500 plus knocking about on rape we don,t shoot and on the stubbles we can shoot, plenty about in the woods also we set up on them on a stubble but after 30 mins of no birds coming in, and firing shots to get them out of the woods all they did was get up and drop straight back in to the wood off our boundary. upsticks and drove 10 miles further on to the rape fields that have had decent numbers on them the last few weeks ended up at the field we shot on a flightline last saturday, but this time decided to set up on the rape at a telegraph pole the only place you can set up at,on this particular field with houses and a puplic footpath bordering it so had some dinner and watched, birds were flighting regular from all directions so set with the rotary in front 15 yards out and decoy pattern 15 yards behind that and a flapper to one side of the decoys birds started to come straight away we shared a gun today with being a bit awkward for 2 guns in the hide,steady shooting for 2hrs with the 20 bore and some nice birds taken with it as well not many misses either, not a bad bag concidering it was 1.30pm when we set up and 4pm when we finished kicking ourselves a bit for wasting the time on the other perm because the bag would of been bigger 52 picked 2 lost for 60 shots pic of the hide site hardly any birds shyed away from it Edited February 11, 2012 by yickdaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yickdaz Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well done mate My biggest problem is at least 10 rape fields within a mile radius yeah always difficult when you have a big block of rape, this field is on its own with very little rape in the district the next rape field a few miles away which we shoot also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I can shoot all rape fields in the area but would need 15 guns , or £40 plus in rope bangers Could arrange for a few guns to be in other fields but fear the knocking on the farmers door after trust no one :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon controller Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Well done nice shooting, We shoot from pole hides a lot as being in the centre of the field gives them confidence to come to decoys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
