Cranfield Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 They are spraying and swathing round me, but the pigeons are on the harvested pea fields, or the clover. It seems as though every field is full of pigeon food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoCars Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 as said above, to much food about, every single field round me is flattened, pigeons on all of them, soon as you start shooting they ****** off to another and dont tend to come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTMS Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 One of my new farmers has said he is cutting in 10 days time (rape) and wants the field well shot? He has another 5 fields of rape, wheat and lindseed, and insists that we shoot the first rape field hard!!!!!! His choice, his fields, got three guns covering the field 10 acres cannot see the logic Will we scare the pigeons to other fields or does he think we will get them all :blink: Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie 1 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 was going round my permission earlier today an discoverd that they have started to cut the rape. so will give it a week or so and then if the pigeons are there then will hopefully get a few. charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROBLATCH Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 still a bit early to swath the rape where we are it is still alittle wet and many farmers wont swath without dryers running as wet rape turns bitter.(i wish it were ready now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Some farmers in Northants were cutting and swathing OSR last week. No pigeon activity yet. Invector. The rape's been sprayed off over here last weekend, that includes the rape at Fleck. He's hoping to start combining towards the end of next week so give me a bell if things start to hot up.

tulkyuk Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 The rape around us was also sprayed last weekend and it is being cut a week tommorow :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invector Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hi Browning, Thanks for that. I look forward to getting some decoying time in, soon after the OSR is combined. The sprayers were ready the last time I was over there. I'll let you know how things develop, as usual. I'll also be able to see the rabbits better when the fields are cleared.
