PhilR Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 We used to use sunflowers as a cover crop on a shoot I used to beat on. Might be worthwhile checking that your patch isn't being used in the same way, otherwise you'll have an unhappy gamekeeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon controller Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I was pike fishing in the Fens some years ago and they were ploughing in the sun flower game cover and it was covered with birds. I would agree that I doubt if you can shoot it during the game season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quickest way to get yourself a bad name in the area is to shoot next to a cover crop just before the pheasant shooting kicks off.
