Had a look at another area on the farm which I shot last year, and stayed a little while , which produced 1 male but I missed the second , the pellet hit a stick, but that stick has gone ๐Ÿ‘, THANKS FOR READING๐Ÿค”

Hello all, went to get some wood this afternoon and checked my new experiment, when I went the other day I left( new to me) a peanut, wheat , nut oil mix in a jam jar secured to a branch for something different , when I got there is was empty so I stopped for a while, poured myself a drink 20 minutes I'd had my first and with in 45 I'd had 3 and they all went to the jar to see if it had been filled, so back tomorrow to fill it and hope they keep comming๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Bit of a late report as I was out last saturday morning at the same wood, took the low route as I could see nothing was on my feeder so when I got near I was able to peek over the bank at the pheasant feeder,nothing there either. Got settled in and I could see the peanut level in my feeder had gone down, waited two hours and apart from one grey away in the trees saw nothing,thought I would peek over the bank before I left and there was a grey at the pheasant feeder,went back five yards for my gun and peeked over the bank again,damn no sign of it, waited and finally saw it a few yards away five feet up a tree looking at me,could just get a clear shot and down she went,a good clean humane kill. So even though my feeder has been up weeks and the level goes down, I've never even seen a grey on it, might stand more of a chance now as with the end of the pheasant seaon their feeder has been taken away.

I was leaving the wood around 11pm last night, big feeder was almost empty after two weeks, so it's being used but not many on it I'd imagine,ย  I'll be checking the others on my way home this afternoon.ย 

I'm looking forward to this๐Ÿ‘, get that R10 whacking and stacking, Boi ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Two angles of the feeders, both just crumbs after two weeks, plenty of birds around,ย  and obviously a few squirrels.ย

Thatโ€™s proper dedication mate. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š

Cheers, It's only a ten minute walk from the car, that's the problem with the shifts I'm on, early starts and late finishes and I knew I'd need to top up if I wanted to shoot this week, which I don๐Ÿ˜

Activity around my feeders since last summers bumper acorn and beech masts season has been very slow probably managed 30 and thatโ€™s being optimistic, Iโ€™d have thought after all the rain etc weโ€™ve had the acorns would have rotted away , but after a roost shoot Saturday a few pigeons crops were full of acorns ! Is it possible squirrels are still feeding on them ?ย

It wouldn't surprise me, I was seeing loads when I filled up last week all sprouting new shoots,
