Suffolk shooter Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Took this whilst I was up there moving some feed from where it had been delivered to the pen and then filled the feeders and checked the drinkers/electric fence etc. The birds are now 9.5 weeks old in these photos, and are looking extremely well. The cocks are taking on their true colours now and some even have longish tails. No doubt if I go up there this week they will have grown significantly more. We have had four deaths since we released them, two by starve out/stress and 2 got wet and chilled after the rains early Sat morning. All we can do is keep an eye out and hope that no more cold wet weather descends (Typical british summer then ) SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex We will have to get out and put that high seat in place mate assuming they are in the same area as the one we found when lamping with Pavman. Is it worth us just sitting on the back of the truck (Camo'd up) one night and waiting for the ****** ? Failing that we could always use those birds you have found to bait him in SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferretboy111 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 High seat is in position, went out last night- saw 2 foxes, both at 200yrds, and both ran. Have snared the place to high hell but still no luck, at this rate there wont be anything to shoot over winter! Think ill be getting up early tomorrow for 1 of em before bloody work.
