Stevie E 66 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) That's the b&m peanuts I find them a bit broken up and get them if I can't get my normal ones ,home bargains is the place I get mine from although the squirrels don't mind them b&m ones but imo home bargains are better quality and I mix mine with cheaper feed it makes them last longer also I put a few capfulls of attractant in mine ,plus home bargains do packs of monkey nuts which are cheaper than others a few of them on the box will draw them in too.Thats the mix I use , Edited October 22, 2021 by Stevie E 2 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,925 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 I have used the B&M sacks for the last three years and they work a treat. We also mixed in sunflower seeds, wheat and maize but in truth we found everything but the nuts scattered around on the ground however that usually get eaten by the pheasants and deer so not total loss.

Stevie E 66 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Must be different areas then Phil ,we often see maize on the floor but it's all nibbled on the end and apart from that everything is taking . The feeders we have are in between pheasant feeders and I've seen them run past them to get to the boxes .These are topped up regular even now we're ferreting so we can drop back on whenever we like the keeper tells me when they need topping up Edited October 22, 2021 by Stevie E 2 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,549 Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Hi Phil,lads, We have been through a real bad time with my eldest son and to be honest I`ve hardly picked a rifle up other than practice for nigh on 2 years. He's diagnosed with adhd, bad mental health etc, he was having suicidal thoughts also. He's slowly mending ( mental health) now, adhd is permanent and for life but yeah, been through a hell of a bad time to be honest. 3 Quote Link to post
