quagmire 6 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hi I am going to try again tonight on another smaller pond at the other end of my permission as I am feeding the other one as advised. I made a floating platform and have tied it near the edge with some poultry corn about four days back but nothing has appeard to have eaten any just wondering if the poultry corn is a wise choice of feed. Thanks in advance Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance Joe Barley is what you want joe, what duck have you got coming mallard ? You need to feed just enough to keep them interested, when you know the feeds going feed everyday so they come back every night. Don't miss a day or you will loose some. Best shooting there is mate enjoy. If you have teal coming even better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
