joeshaw08 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 All the best is yet to come! Harvest is pretty much finished but when the cold whether hits, they should be decoying nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Also roost shooting mid febuary ! My personal favorite, birds coming through the wood like fighter jets at all hights and jinxing in and out of tree`s as your about to shoot ........... For me you cant beat it esp in really windy conditions ! :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 hedge hunter , If you are shooting on a mixed arable farm then you should be getting decoying all the year round . Harvest is in full swing and should be over very soon .You will then be able to shoot the stubbles ,wheat and barley . The cereal harvest will be followed by the suger beet harvest and will provide shooting on the harvested beet fields . Pigeons just love chipped suger beet and it can provide a bonanza in pigeon shooting . The rape is being drilled at this moment and will provide shooting throught the winter in my area usualy starting at about christmas time right through to the harvest again in july . And of course if you are lucky on your farm you will have peas which will be drilled about march or april time .The peas are a favourite of pigeons and they will start to feed on them the day they are drilled to after they have been harvested .And of coursd you will have the winter and spring drillings of the cereals . I think that it will keep you busy all year . Best of luck Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
