nagantino Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 If a guy plans a day and gets his stuff ready, flask and sandwiches and all, and goes to where he shot 40 odd last week, is it not reasonable to expect a decent bag of birds? I mean, am I being unreasonable? Is it me. 7 birds from 10:00 till 2:00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I would say it's not often you go back to a field you shot a few days earlier and get a bag to match the first, it does happen but it's rare I shared a bag of 60 a week ago went back four days later and shot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Adam Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Ha to see 40 birds would be a fine thing! We drove 59 miles around our permissions last weekend and saw no more than 30 odd birds. Where have they all gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagantino Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 My original post was lighthearted. I had checked my permission last night at 5:30 walked off lots of birds so i was determined to give it another go before I go on holiday. For different reasons, I was going to build the hide in the middle of the field and new this would be problematic so I read all the Pinned messages on the Forum. I was so built up for the challenge. There are some dwellings nearby and wanted to be able to take birds at all angles. But as I pulled up to the field this morning it was plain something was not right. The farmer had spread muck over the whole field! The best laid schemes............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
