BRAD1927 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Are there any birds about? [/quote That would have been my first question. Is it on a flight line or are they landing of their own accord? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 If the birds are on it then yes, otherwise if there is a flight line you can get under or near its worth a try to tempt them down or close enough to shoot, otherwise no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good day can be had on the crows, if you have any decoys get out there and give it a go; Replace plastics with dead birds as soon as you get a chance and you never know. Sometimes what seems like the quietest of days can end up being great days, and visa versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitnmiss Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I would have a look around the edges of his rape fields, the rape might be big now but they are still feeding on the lower leaves around the edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
