aga man Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 with barley ripening by the day and the rape not that far off, its all coming together nicely. there seems to be a lot of people out watching pigeons at the moment so let your farmer know your about and planning to have a go before some one else gets on. just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeh Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 About 70 on the peas Tuesday, and about 150ish today, so going out tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Still no great numbers on any crops down here they are still on the playing fields There are also quite a few shooters who share my ground, its a shame they cant just wait a few weeks, rather than going out every weekend and shooting at anything that passes them by all they are achieving is educating the birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
