wannabe_keeper Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 19th for us too but a lot depends on the weather over the next few weeks. Temperatures dropping now so noticing a few birds drawing back for feed but it only takes a warm spell to set them off across the fields again!

B725 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 There is still five fields of spring barley to cut yet it will be a pain to beat but we may end up with some good pigeon shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filzee Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 26th of Oct. Lost 30 to a mink and there are a lot of fox's about but we are thining their numbers down and seeing a lot of birds about. Plus plenty of partridge around which is nice since we don't release any.

norfolk dumpling Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 First day beating yesterday - birds flew well guns shot rather average but odd to be out in a field of flowers with bees and butterfly's getting in your way. Also lots of martins and swallows - roll on the snow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattSoanes Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Considering it was the first time through, the guns had some exceptionally good ( for Suffolk ) birds over them. The breeze picked up steadily throughout the day and helped provide good testing sport for all the guns. Total bag was 70 head for 212 shots, we were hoping for nearer 100 and with a stronger team of guns I think we would of got about that. We saw plenty of game and didn't go near 4 of our better drives so things are in good shape. Give it another go in a fortnight with a different team of guns and see how we get on. Bag consisted of 56 pheasants 11 red legs 3 various Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
