heritage 202 Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Well today was unlike any other day I've had before..... I went onto a field that was 120 acres of rape, on my approach the feeding birds lifted & I'm not exaggerating when I tell you there were thousands, the sky went black..... I set up a simple hide and used approx 10 half bodied decoys set in a simple horse shoe pattern. I saw the birds settle several fields away and sat waiting for them to return which in time they did... This is where my problems began, rather than coming in 2-3's they came back en masse... Possibly 10-30 birds at a time and things did at times get a little confusing..... On there return I took 1, sometimes 2 and then waited ages before getting another lot over the pattern..... Ended the day with 30+ but I'm sure that I could have been much better had there been more people shooting today..... Potentially keeping the birds on the move. Hopefully tommorow will see an improvement in both the birds movement & my shooting skills. 1 Quote Link to post
