dazzyboi Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Iv just gained access to some land, 130 acres, growing both oats and barley. I want to know experiences on shooting over barley at this time of year? do you get much luck? when is the best time of year to get the pigeons down on the crops?

pin Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I know you don't mention shooting over the oats but I wouldn't bother, they don't like them and won't decoy onto them. I don't want to talk about how I found this out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to talk about how I found this out haha good thing its mostly barley then isnt it that should provide me a good bit of shooting when its cut down this summer. Just spoke to my other farmer he is growing barley too, hopefully starting in the next few weeks (when it dries up abit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
