blasterjudd Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Cracking morning on the rape in Stebbing Essex with Dog & Gun Abby 57 birds total all on re-seeded rape stubble Windy morning and lots flighting in, stopped at 11 but wished could have stayed longer as bag could have trebled! Used my rotary and lots of full and half body decoys with great success, at alst the birds are about in Essex. Heres to many more this winter and lets hope its better than the last one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blasterjudd Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Am very surprised more people are not finding rape stubble more productive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
