Bleeh Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I've never really shot over drillings before because most of my permission was run by Gamekeepers, and shooting stopped in August. I had an alright day today, but I'm wondering when they pigeons will stop feeding on the Wheat/barley drilling, they where drilled last Wednesday.

chrispti Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 They are not normally on it for much more than a week, or 2 at the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Drilled cereals can be an excellent oppotunity to shoot pigeons . The pigeons will stop feeding on the drillings after they have gleened all the seed off the field . Pigeons will only feed on seed that has been left on the top by the seed drill ,pigeons dont scratch about like chickens looking for food . Depending on how much seed the drill has left behind will determine how long the birds will feed . The modern day seed drills are far ,far better than they were a few years ago and leave very little seed left on top . The favourite part of the field for pigeons on drillings is around the headlands where the drill has to be lifted to change directions and the seed spilled . Harnser .
