Walker570 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Had two more this afternoon when we had a dry spell for an hour and the sun came out. I think that is twenty now in about three weeks under the same tree. 1019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one today, a male following yesterday’s female into the trap. 997 No, only squirrels and rats! Another two today. Mature male and a mature female. 1021 Edited June 15, 2019 by Fisheruk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Well it turned out to be a disappointing quiet day, I was genuininely expecting better but I did manage sixteen. 1037 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Sixteen 😳👍 another one for me this afternoon from a loaned trap. 1038 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 New location and set a hopper flip top 3 weeks ago, initially with peanuts and then whole maize on top to follow. They had it three parts empty when I arrived. So just sat back in the passenger seat of the Landie at 6.30am and at 6.45 the first arrived at the run, had eleven there by 10.45 and moved to an old set and had another 5 there by 2.30pm. Really did think I would break the 20 barrier as last year I had 18 at one sitting in the same wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done!!👍 It does illustrate the benefit of larger feeders, since they do pull the greys in from a larger area. Unfortunately NT and Sanctuaries, want us off site before the public arrive🙁 In comparison, I had a more modest 3 trapped today, most catches this week were adolescents. 1040 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) And it was another quiet morning sat in the passenger seat of the Landie overlooking a pheasant feeder with the 22RF and a cup of coffee and it was sip - shoot, sip - shoot, sip - shoot all morning 7.30 to 11.30 17 in total then at about 12 noon it went all quiet...wonder why? Certainly boosted my five a week resolution. 1062 Edited June 18, 2019 by Walker570 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 New ground and more to come. Three woods and I have set a flip top, hopper model in the one that hasn't been shot, with peanuts to start followed by whole maize. I'll leave it about 9 -10 days then hit it. The Keeper is going to keep and eye and see it doesn't run out before then. Totally virgin wood apart from the occasional one shot buy the Keeper. I will be itching to go all this week watch this space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratchers Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Think you must have got mine Walker. Spent five hours the last two mornings staking out one of my feeders, and ........nothing, not even a sighting. Strange as all the wheat is been eaten continuously with the feeder chewed if it has run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitetail Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 I've shot 92 since the turn of the year, I shot them really hard last year and shot just over a 100 and there were very few left . I think they must be coming in from the gardens of the village near the shoot , I shoot a particular feeder until very little is being eaten and leave it a couple of weeks then all of a sudden the feeders emptied in days . At least it's given me something to do with the problems over the general licence 1171 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
