proTOM1 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 After all the rain we have had over the last few days was fairly sure the birds would be hungry .so after a chat with a mate we headed out today to a tip off of birds in good numbers on a small rape field . dont like going blind but farmer is fairly good when he says there are birds 9 times out of 10 there is . We arrived with a strong wind blowing but the wind was not good for us with it being smack in the face . We set up putting the decoys some 45 yards out in 2 groups of 15 in each and 3 turbo flapers and 2 peckers out . The light began to show and the wind got up some more . The first birds were in huge gangs of 300 plus and carried on by then around 8am they started to decoy but they were hard work .My mate is a very good shot most of the time and even he was having trouble . It slowed around 10am with any birds coming going just to wide so we put out 3 floaters and the magnet ,this made loads of difference bringing all that entered the field straight to the pattern text book style . by 3pm it was dead so called it a day with a good bag . Ended with 78 picked 4 lost over hedge in the stream (more like river ) and 1 silly magpie Finished the day off with a walk down the stream and put up 3 mallard and shot 2 so a good day was had in testing conditions .
