oowee Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Cant wait although most of the stuff here will come off early as whole crop. Should be something on the stubble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenholland Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 best shooting I had was on barley stubble last year only one barley field to keep an eye on this year . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Encouraging post ditch, i think your barley is slighty ahead of ours but it is certainly getting to that 'milky' stage, and there's a good chance the heavy rain has flattened a bit. I am off out for a look shortly to check some peas and will certainly have a look at the barley after reading this. The peas haven't really tempted the pigeons away from clover here but i reckon the barley will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 what i usually see first is the birds gritting in the lanes..................havnt seen that this year..............just seems they are going straight onto the barley.......proberly they dont need to grit as it is so soft at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a pigeon shooter or an odd job man? The jobs will be fine for another day. Get out and shoot a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put that felt down and go and shoot man, if you don't someone else will. No great hurry my boys , give them a few days to find it and get into a routine , that will give ditchman time to finish his pits and pieces , roll a few fags and go and get amongst them , all sorted and the report will soon be on its way ( with loads of very fine photos ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
