Catamong Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Still no interest in the rape around these parts, cold weather makes no difference, if there's plenty of Beech Mast and Acorns about, they'll be on those until late January..

old'un Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Yep the cold snap this week seems to put them on the rape, had call from one of my farmers on Tuesday said there were about 2 or 3 hundred on his rape, so out Wednesday morning, it was bright, cold and still, not the best pigeon shooting weather but 3 hours shooting produced 27 pigeons and 2 crows, out today Friday and not a bird to be seen.

Also saw thousands on some stubble still hanging about but God knows what hey are eating on it this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
