Blackbart Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 It aint the rain that will stop them feeding but i have found that they dont like plodging around in a muddy wet field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ91 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 They have to feed to survive, whatever the weather. They may move to a ''dryer' feeding ground though. I have had some good days when it has been steady rain alday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Most likely they will revcert to OSR or clover if the ground is really wet and sticky. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr pigeon Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Seen pigeons on the drillings and clover today, pouring with rain. A big flock (500ish) were all present and correct on the rape field I've watching for last few days. More were definitely joining when it lightened up though. I'd go, I use a fishing brolly and hide nets happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Invest £20 in a cheap fishing umberella, build your hide around it and carry on shooting, despite the rain, in absolutely dry comfort. I`m a recent convert to the fishing brolly hide and wish I`d bought one years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
