drumsoldier 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Going to be a bit of a nightmare not shooting pigeons! The majority of my permissions are all wheat fields this year got a 100acre outside my backdoor not a pigeon to be seen ,another 100acre 2 miles away,not a pigeon to be seen and to top it all the three 10 acre rape fields are basically in the middle of housing estates and public footpaths,making it a pain in the butt to shoot Getting bored by the day! Pleased I ve still got some rabbit to shoot or I would go insane Andy Quote Link to post
TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Tell me about it bud Crop rotation is a pain ha ha.all the best fields I shoot near the woods are wheat this year,and all the rape takes ages to walk to with the gear as I can't get mi truck anywhere near,So I have to grin and bear it and tread on.just think of summer when the wheat is bowing and the pigeons are on the laid bits u won't have far to go.take it out on the rabbit for now Atb 223 Edited January 18, 2012 by TWOTWOTHREE Quote Link to post
