MerseaDavid Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I went past a field of standing wheat today and the birds were dropping into it in large numbers but when I drove past 3 hours later there was not a bird in site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I was doing a rapror survey yesterday and a constant stream of pigeons were dropping onto a recently grazed field rich in clover. Pity i cant shoot these fields until October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 If you find any Harnser, please send some this way... All week i've been putting in the time and effort to find them - and so far... Nothing worth setting up for! 2 Weeks ago, You could count them in the near hundreds dropping into tramlines and laid wheat - This week Nothing! Don't worry Matey, I've got several fields under observation. There's plenty about at the moment, it's all a matter of doing a thorough job with the recce's. Cat.

Harnser Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Be careful driving over the rape stubble . when i had come off the rape stubble I shot today I could hear something dragging under the disco ,I stopped and had a look underneath the car and found a load of rape straw caught up over the rear axel of the disco . Took me half an hour to cut it all free . This straw is pretty tough and could cause damage to the under side of your car . I normally try to drive across the field were the straw has been cut at its lowest . Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I have always been wary of driving over rape stubble in dry conditions ( fat chance of that this year ) . Its so tough I have thought it might give me a puncture. Anyone ever had that trouble ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerseaDavid Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Never had a puncture yet when driving over rape stubble. But then they have ripped chunks off the combine wheels before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 was greasing the 4x4 drive shaft this morning - having driven over rape stubble the last few days, the entire underside of my Frontera is all shiny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 was greasing the 4x4 drive shaft this morning - having driven over rape stubble the last few days, the entire underside of my Frontera is all shiny! I can remember several years ago i had taken my car (a morris marina estate ) for an MOT and the tester said to me ,i have never seen such a clean car underneath ,did you clean it up for the MOT . I didnt know what he was on about untill i got home and had a look underneath . The whole of the car underneath was sparkling clean and all the exposed metal parts were shining like they had been polished . I suddenly realised it was down to driving around the barley stubbles .

MerseaDavid Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Me and dad used to use a 78 Pontiac Trans Am for shooting and we used to drive that round the harvested fields and it was nice and clean on the underside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
