fenboy Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Two types of peas are grown , vining peas , the sort that you buy frozen from birdseye and such like and harvest peas which are left to dry and then combined with a normal harvester rather than a pea viner Harvest peas can offer some very good shooting on the stubbles as they burst from the pods along the wheelings when sprayed and combined leaving lots behind for the pigeon . I shared a bag of over 230 on a stubble last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bala Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 when i was a young fellah they would dry the peas on wooden tripods throughout the field, then the combine would come in, and the peas were fed in using two tine forks.

They started to burst the pods over the last few days,Since shooting them I've had over a hundred pigeons,my aim has improved ten fold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
