Cranfield Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 As you proved, you can shoot more at the moment by sitting under the trees, than setting decoys out in the rape. All this wet weather is really making even the late rape shoot up round here. That could be the next problem..........the rapes too high.
