I agree with the above post there is no point in making big bags of woodies over stubble where they are doing no damage in august. The birds will either be nesting or else you will be shooting young and foolish birds who do not provide such a sporting challenge as an adult bird. I will of course shoot if the farmer asks me to get rid of woodies on flattened barley but do so reluctantly and I do not worry to much if I shoot badly and the most I do is frighten the daylights out of the birds ..... True they are pests but without pigeons alot of shooters such as myself would have no shooting... I regulate my shooting in Autumn and often have cracking sport with adult birds on winter and spring drillings .. Just my opinion though and the most important thing is keeping the farmer happy.
