yickdaz Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 to say the least from the start of this year, its been rubbish apart from one good bag on the rape in feb the drillings went in and the birds went out I found a decent amount on sunday going to a barley drill just over the boundary from a cattle farm we have permission to shoot on, its a good farm had some good bags on there over the years on the grass fields the flightlines to the grass and surrounding fields all bypass this farm when the birds are there of course, we had a few hrs on sunday for 24 , I went back today seeing as I was off work to spend the afternoon seeing if I could make some kind of bag ,very strong wind blowing flightlines the same as sunday set up 80 yards down the fence line from sunday, had no back ground hedge or tree to put my back to so the wind just howled straight through the hide I had to peg it down to stop it ending up in Scotland it was steady away all afternoon some real testing birds in that wind, some birds coming at me 30 yards away were 60 by the time I stood up to shoot I cobbled a bag together and blew away some cobwebs I really enjoyed it and was tested to the max all afternoon finished on 40 picked 37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
