pedro68 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hi there , i have just managed to get some more fields to shoot over on one of my permissions ,im relatively new to shotgunning and have never shot over barley drilling's before . Will the birds feed on them and do i set up my decoys the same and should i use a flapper and rotary .They are planting these fields mid week and i plan to shoot them on sat . Any advice would be great . Cheers Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Pigeon will feed on the fields if there is any grain showing. Just set up exactly the same as you normally would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old rooster Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Barley is the best cereal drilling to shoot pigeons on IMHO, hope you get some shooting! Better still is beans with peas closely behind. Edited March 31, 2013 by old rooster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fielddweller Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Start off with the rotary and see how things go,but take it down if its spooking them.Love my rotary but not on drillings.As with all gear suck it and see. atb Fielddweller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro68 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 im a bit more hopefully after your comments , i hope i get a few and learn a bit more decoying tips. will it matter if the field is drilled on Wednesday and Thursday and i wont be shooting over it until Saturday and will i be able to shoot over it for a few weeks or so .

IMHO in order of personal preference................................. Beans Peas Barley Wheat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
