TJ91 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Tradition is Friday but most do Saturday's now..due to most people having to work. I have always done Friday Saturday and Sunday through February. Never heard others in the are on them nights but doesn't seem to make any difference in my woods. Always get plenty shooting.

aga man Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 sounds like a good night that dbarmby. we had a decent night on friday. there was a good turn out of guns and a good few pigeons. i ended the night with 8 pigeons and a magpie for 14 shots. it would have been better with more wind as with you ash a lot of the birds were high.
