Haggis81 147 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I checked it today and all the feed away! Fed it again and went up at dusk, I was watching with binos from the road side and seen two ducks come in then another three!! Struggled to see after that because I was far away, I will check what feeding is left tomorrow. I was going to build a hide tomorrow and feed it all week then shoot it next Fri night?, thats only one week so far I have been feeding it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We shoot ours every other week so we don't over do it. I know you'll get mixed opinions on here as some don't understand self control and moderation. It's your shoot at the end of the day so whatever you do I hope you enjoy it. Best regards, Lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haggis81 147 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Other people shoot the farm but I would hit the roof if anyone shot the pond after me feeding it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Haggis81 147 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Built a hide today and sat in it with gun waiting for dock after the amount they ate night before I knew they are in half decent numbers. I think the ducks weary of the hide, one landed far end from hide and up to ten others came down did a couple of laps and moved on, I never took any shoots but think they need week to get used to hide as the splash is in middle of field with no cover.
