Thread: Game bird diary for all

Well as your season comes to and end, ours is about to start.
We have put down 250 pheasant last months which are now looking really good. Nice healthy birds with no diseases. There starting to move around or little shoot now so last Thursday I put out over 1.5 ton of grain. Poor old L200 was a rather slow drive back from the local farmer with that lot in the back! All in the feeders and should stop them from going to far.
250 partridge came in yesterday. This year we are going to release them all apart from some call birds in a couple of days.
As a small shoot, it can be hard to juggle getting out to feed and water them combined with every day life.
This year thrown into the mix that a mouse chewed through the waste pipe on our dishwasher which had leaked through the entire kitchen floor. With the kitchen being totally built on the floor the insurance has said you had better move out.
This makes it an extra challenge! So some of the other guns have had to step up.
One comment was who you have to put the grain in bags and then put those in the feeders......ummm year they won’t fill themselves
