smudgey Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 On my perm, maize has been sown around two weeks ago. When do pigeon usually start feeding on it. There are some signs of plant growth but not sure if it's maize. If any one could show some light on this I would be grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby dazzler Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Don't think u will get a lot of shooting over maize when it's coming through u will when it's cut though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgey Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Could be wasting my time perhaps. What about rooks and crows there were a few on it yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby dazzler Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hit and miss with the crows/rooks stick a few decoys out and see what happens if there is a flight line going across the field might get a good few then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty* Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Drilled maize can be good for crow/rook shooting ive killed some good numbers over it but never any pigeons till its been cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeon controller Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 We have never shot pigeons on drilled maize only crows. Most of our farms cut the maize and pick up very well . We have one "Hobby" farmer who each year employs contractors to cut his maize and it's like a F1 Gran Prix as they race round but they mash a lot of cobs up and leave on the field which is good for at least three weekends of shooting. Good luck in the future . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
