rheth Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 hi all,my perm this season has a few fields of stubble that is being left till next year and one of them has been getting visited by around 200 greys we shot it on Saturday morning shot 4 packed up happy so as to leave the rest of arrivals in peace.drove past today and watched around 70 dropping into same field I'm totally new to goose shooting the guy in the gunshop gave some good advice on cartridges to use so stocked up on those my question is how long will the geese come into the field if we shoot it once a week or could it be shot more often.we are arriving at field about 6.30 and packing up about 8, will they move on to pastures new and if so when.

hodge911 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 you lucky man !!! I wish they would visit my permissions I would love a crack at them . had an invite down to leeds from a guy last year as I fancied a go at shooting / decoying them , but as my luck always goes none tuned up we could hear them in the dark of the morning just before sunrise but none came into range . if I were you I,d make the most of them..............

panoma1 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 They'll be there for a few days until the food supply is exhausted or they are driven off by too much disturbance/shooting! They will clear the field of food PDQ so..............make hay!....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony G Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 As above,they will stay until they clear all the grub or are pushed away by shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawntredder Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Moon is full soon,they might just start feed thru the night so if conditions are favourable get yourselfs under them,its great shooting under the moon ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rheth Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 the field they are on now isn't the biggest the other 5 fields all border each other will they move onto these after exhausting first field and just work their way round farm.

rheth Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 yeah that's what was thinking we only shot at the first six skeins coming in on Saturday then left as others were arriving not to disturb them hopefully it pays off.

You would be far better off not shooting them at all on the fields they are feeding on. Watch and study there flight lines and shoot them on the way in that way the Geese will feed undisturbed and could offer you plenty off flight shooting.Another thing I do when I've taken people is not only restrict numbers shot but also restrict the number of Skeins shot at to hopefully only educate a small number of the Geese Well done on your result and restraint in numbers shot Top Man.
