Scully Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I am also surprised at the numbers of pheasants I’m seeing around. Sad to see the amount of roadkill though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope theres a lot more wild birds this year cos I've got a feeling a lot of shoots won't put them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 It will be in full blossom in the next week or so and the bees are working well so we should have a good crop again with lots to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t heard from our syndicate yet, as to what plans they have ( if any ) for the coming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shooting for a month must make a difference, I hard that thousands of baby turtles managed to be born on beaches in India which are normally disturbed by humans. I hope it's true. Shows what a destructive species we are really. Human's dying in the thousands, and the rest of the world see's enormous benefit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pux Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Good effort on helping the farmer, I have been helping the local one to me with manual labour.Our garden has been full of pheasants, one of them become territorial, it would attack the misses when she was out in the garden!

Lets hope its only a month but I suspect it will be extended in stages that people will be more likely to accept is reasonable, particularly if too many brain dead idiots keep meeting up.

Walker570 Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Yes, they are talking the plan will run to end of June. I personally think thatwill be extended to the end of August and hopefully then we will see a new dawn. There is a town in America where every year the elk take over the town and it can get pretty hairy because the rut is on and the stags are in an unpredicatble mood.
