Well done brooke just had a call from one farmer myself this morning, a friend of his has a BIG problem with birds on his rape fields he's complaining that his dad has to keep going down the fields everyday to scare them off and he's not getting any work done round the farm. Been out to have a look with a couple of mates said we would be back after the booze wears of from tonight... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another story of success It's quite reassuring to others when they read stories like this and gives them a boost as one day quite a lot of them will eventually get places to shoot. It took me YEARS and eventually it was a chance job beating that led me to my Pigeon shooting. I just can't wait for them to start dropping in to the fields up at the estate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
