slipper 116 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 just curious as to what time you start and if it makes a difference is it best to let them have a feed first thing? or do you shoot from first light like i do? just looked at a field of stubble with a few hundred on at about eight and they were still going in Quote Link to post
trigger2 3,137 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 depends on how the birds are working the area. i find areas varie, about 3 summers ago we were getting a full days shooting but had to go to 2 different areas. the one spot had birds in the morning until dinner time then we moved to another spot that had birds from about 3 oclock onwards. thats the way it stayed for the summer they were only 10 miles apart. 1 Quote Link to post
leslie harold gedge 1,390 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 agree with trigger we have been getting them early but the best shooting starts for us about 2 o.clock when we have been getting a lot of birds .but they do need a feed before roust . 2 Quote Link to post
slipper 116 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thanks for the replies chaps, me and my dad went on some rape stubble started at 8 ended up with 120 and a few crows, will get the pics up once I have worked it out We did have plans to shoot on a few farms but nearly every one works the ground within days of cutting it now, they don't leave it as stubble like they used to Quote Link to post
