Cranfield Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 In my area where there is food on the stubbles, the pigeons are on it. Some of the older stubbles are not being favoured and I can only think they have been grazed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodyPopper Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I shot a few over wheat stubble yesterday. I was surprised to see that most had a mix of clover and wheat in their crops. I sort of assumed that, with wheat about, that's all they'd eat. I guess we all need our greens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goshawk1 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Yea they have moved on to another field was it wheat or barley? If its wheat they will be back if there is anything left. Do u do recon before shooting? It's the way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
