JDog Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) No rape is off on the Wolds but on the flat land near Lincoln some has been taken. Jacko picked me up at 10.30 and we were watching three weak lines into two hundred acres of rape stubble by 11.00. The obvious one would mean the wind at our backs, a nice change from our outings of late. Birds came high overhead from behind. Some turned back to the decoy pattern but most (about 300) carried on to a place in the field where we could not set up. We had shooting for 3 hours or so and shot some decent birds between us. We picked 90 pigeons. Yearling roe buck came to investigate. Edited July 31, 2021 by JDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Good going to shoot 90 odd in three hours , no sign of any rape been cut down here this last week , the weather is making this years harvest another stop and go and like today we have had heavy thundery showers this afternoon , the farm don't mind as it give them a chance to clear the bales off and leave it ready to start cultivating .

Wilts#Dave Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 90 in a few hours is always good sport, well done. The very few fields of rape we’ve got here are a week or so away if the weather stays fair I reckon, pigeons didn’t touch it through winter but may go for the stubble with any luck!

clangerman Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 good score for the deadly duo there still waiting for most rape to be cut here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hello, well done, a good number for 3 hours, the weather has stopped cutting on Barley so the rape fields will be a bit late this year, and very patchy , will have to see how the stubble fares, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightymariner Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Well done chaps. These days, if I get into double figures I am very happy. No rape cut down here in the Wolds, but won't be far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Had about 30’ off the rape stubbles the other day over about 2-3 hours and was very happy 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead eye alan Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Well done 90 is good going for a man that usually runs out of cartridges, and a man that jumps up and down like a Jacko-in-a-box. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
