Rape stubble shooting.


Recommended Posts

Met up with Stuart at 1030 this morning and as it was raining we had a look round till it stopped.We chose where we were going to shoot and so we flagged off a couple of fields to deter the pigeons.We pushed a couple of bales together to shelter out of the wind and set up in front of them.We shot till 1800 hrs and ended the day with 158 woodpigeon and 20 ferals.Some more good days to be had there as a good number of pigeons about.

Nice work and some good numbers, it’s good to see them hitting the stubbles hard ?

A good number of pigeons here but spread out over the fields that have been cut.

Nice days bag.  Haven't seen any cut down here yet.  It might be worth checking the dogs feet for cuts. The stubble is very sharp and sometimes cuts don't show in a limp or anything. Sometimes the only showing is the dog licking it's foot.
