aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 hi all, i'm shooting on an allotment with brad this afternoon, hopefully do some lamping too. i've been there before and it's a nightmare to shoot. their are raised bedsd and obstructions everywhere, soy you can'nt cover many places by just sitting in one place like you do in a paddock. there are also cd's, bike reflectors and other shiny objects which the gardners have placed on their patch to keep away birds, which all look like rabbit eyeshines!also this is onyl the second time i've ever shot in a pair and i was wondering how you do it safetly? i'm thinking of static hunting as if your try and stalk this place your likely to turn a corner and have a rabbit at your feet! im arriving early to check out for scratchings and droppings so i can get some idea on where to cover. atb Aaron Quote Link to post
darren watson 14 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 if theres a ton of ground level obstructions i'd get prone on the roof of the allotment shed for a nice vantage point! my girlfriends got an allotment that i'm praying has a rat/rabbit problem but as we got it just as winter started and all the ground froze over i've not really been down to suss it out yet. how bigs the allotment? i mostly shoot with a mate but we stick to the same route all the time so we know where each other are all the time anyway. maybe a pair of cheap walkie talkies would help if you have a large area to roam around.
