KillStone Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'll be shooting today. Rain does seem to be holding off for the moment and as i havent done any proper shooting in over a year i am eager to get out on some barley stubble the birds seem interested in. Its just whether i remember which way to point the gun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexcernui Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I was going to have a mooch but it is pretty miserable here and my perm is clay so didn't fancy lugging 10 kg boots around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started on some old wheat stubble with nothing really coming in, then packed up and moved to some more wheat stubble next to some drillings. Set up stood for five minutes had rain dripping of my nose was **** wet through gun was dripping dog was hiding under the hedge row then we called it a day. Just got dry and cleaned the gun, god knows why we thought it was a good idea finished with four pigeon.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandalf Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Fowling yesterday afternoon. Inland along a Broads river. Lovely calm and cloudy. Got to dark to see so packed up and shouldered rucksack. That was the signal to him up there who just hates atheists! Got soaked on the walk back to the truck. Out again today when I think there will be a repeat performance. My granddad, a farm labourer before and after the second world war, reckoned you should never put off anything due to the weather. Dress appropriately and get on with it. This from a bloke who could never afford a proper raincoat. He'd spend all day hoeing sugar beet or turnips in the rain with just a hessian potato sack over his head and shoulders. Today, with all the superb wet weather gear we have, there really is no excuse for not going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeside1000 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Missed out all week on the pigeons due to illness so today decided to go down the club and let off steam at some clays, arrived in pouring rain but within 5 minutes it stopped, sun came out and we shot 50 by noon, great fun in the wind, just got packed away and back came the rain, it was as if someone up there thought we deserved a break, now im off visiting relatives and friends up north so no more sport for another week, cant wait to get back and find a few pigeons, must get my wet gear out ready, rain or not I cant keep just looking out the window at it, its doing my head in not to mention driving the missus mad listening to me moanin on.

Dazza9t9 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm hoping to get out on Thursday, hopefully the weather will hold off. Seen a few feeding on an old wheat stubble field. Can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garden gun Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Flocks of woodies are scarce round here (beech mast?), but blacks are becoing a scorge. Passed a 50+ flock of crows on newly drilled wheat on the way to work this morning. Not shootable as the field is right next to roads and has a couple of footpaths through it. Safe fall of shot would be the primary concern, but passing townies would no doubt kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
