Proudly Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Compared to last season its been very poor. Not a lot of holding cover on our ground & we decided to shoot regularly until xmas then whenever we fancied it. Once the cover did die off we struggled for birds. There were very few ducks on the river compared to the last 2 seasons, everywhere was flooded so not sure if that contributed. We've secured 350acres of moorland that has a few small but warm woods. Only £200 rent & we can shoot whatever we want. Had a rake around when we viewed it only put a woodcock up but there must be game there. Its been suggested we release 100 ex layers but I'm not sure if its worth it if they stray. Its too far for any of us to regularly dog in & visit. The idea was to feed the woods hard. The land itself was too good to resist for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nmb Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 We had an additional piece of ground about 50 miles away from our syndicate shoot. We seen it had potential and put down 150 birds. Our return was over 100% and it was a cracking wee shoot however due to commitments to our main area we had to give it up this year. Guess it depends how busy you are as to whether another shoot is viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
