cocker3 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 went out this morning at8am and had a look round all the rape fields i shoot sum had 100+ on them but none had many flighting in to them so decided to set up on a field they have been hitting hard for the last few weeks after putting off about 200 birds i set up in the hedge and waited and waited and waited after 1 hour and 3 birds in the bag it was time for a new plan . so after a few more miles in the car i found a sowen field that was only sowen yesterday there must have been 1000+ birds on it but with a south wind it was going to be hard to get a spot to set up as the field only has ditches on 3 sides and a hedge at the bottom of the field . i was being a bit lazy and set up on the hedge as the ditches meant lugging all my gear over 100 yards to any spot where i would get a flight line but the hedge had its own problems as the wind was in my back not ideal by any means but this spot had the strongest flight line .after setting up with 3 floaters and 20 shells i was set but the birds are still in big flocks and were not too keen to comit in big groups but the 3s and 4s came i spot on with big flocks coming past i started to pull the odd bird out the flock to the pattern .then it justed dryed up and by 4 pm there was not a bird in the sky so i packed up and headed home on the way home i passed 2 rape fields i shoot and there were thousands on both fields **** law finnished with 54 and 5 blackies the weather looks good for tommorow so might have a go agian then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
