yickdaz Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) today headed out to look at a wheat stubble that had been harvested Thursday, the old fella had earmarked it for today, we had been waiting for it to be cut for over a month due to pigeons constantly flighting up and down the standing wheat in the previous weeks we had looked at them , well we rolled up to the fields today to find 2 tractors working the fields one ploughing the other drilling rape, brilliant I thought but we had a chat with one of the farmhands and found out were 2 other areas had been drilled with rape this particular farmer has land spread out all over the place, so that's good knowledge for the winter months a bit further down the lane was a barley stubble birds were flighting to on the same land so we watched this field and it was worth setting up but we knew were we really needed to be birds were flighting over the fields being worked but it wasn,t safe to shoot with two tractors running up and down it plus they had the headlands to do yet, our other location was giving us some sport had about 30 down between us in the first few hrs, about 2.30pm the tractors stopped rolling and the birds still flighting over the drilled field so I decided to walk over to the treeline overlooking them old fella stayed in the hide it was a long walk about 3/4 of a mile so travelled light with just gun carts and a net, cut some branches down for hide poles when I got there I had a brilliant few hrs flighting them putting dead birds out as I shot them it didn,t make a lot of difference but it made a few birds come for a look but most of them shot flighting picked 63 from the barley stubble lost 5 and my flighted bag of 30 picked and 3 lost so 101 down picked 93 so a good day with some good shooting Edited September 6, 2014 by yickdaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
