jeemes 4,747 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 had a few decent bags on drill this time but everything is up now. dont bother with any flappers or spinners on brown fields though.If they are there they cant miss seeing the decoys. Quote Link to post

David.evans 5,323 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Spent 6 hrs today 600 acres , 4 of the fields are Brown, the rest , rape , corn , grass How many pigeons did I see 0 , how many crows 6 Wtf "O and 1 fox Quote Link to post
jeemes 4,747 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Brown fields dont mean pigeons unfortunately. Most drilling now is too good anyway but Ive seen pigeons ignore wheat all over the top of a field and fly over to feed elsewhere. They are fickle things pigeon. take it as it comes with them I say,they are a wild bird after all. Quote Link to post
philpot 5,069 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 800yds, quite a walk. My buddy has modified an electric golf cart and says it is a real back saver, I suppose it depends on the terrain though. Phil Quote Link to post
