Walker570 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 One more this afternoon. Called in at one feeder on route to my local LPG supplier and sneeked into the blind, sat downa and had just fed a round into the Browning when a tree rat comes scampering towards the feeder, pauses for a second and falls over tail twitching .... HEH! here we go I thought. Sat there for another two and a half hours and saw one old cock pheasant. The feeder was almost empty, must top up tomorrow. 1329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 One this afternoon tried to sneak into our wood and was tempted by the delicous peanuts displayed in the live catch cage. Hence one more to add. Interesting that for the next two weeks in 2019 we killed about half a ozen doing just the same. 1340 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Nice to see some of you are scoring. Drove 140 miles round trip today and checked four likely feeders and did not see a thing. It got very very hot after about 8 am which may have been one of the reasons. Three out of the four flip tops had been used. Threw in the towel at one oclock and drove home.

Ouch, wrong time of year for that kind of mileage Nev, unless you know the feeders are being hit hard, lots of natural food about. Lots of guys who normally shoot bags of tens aren't shooting because the squirrels aren't on the feeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
