    Saturday evening saw me on a place local to me where the deer come and go really as there is a wooded bank nearby that they spend most of their time in or around but is unfortunately not my ground ,yet .My permission here at the moment comprises two farms back to back with no woodland to speak of but lovely meadows which hold as long as disturbance is kept down .The farmers on both land want the deer kept tight so thats what i do .Bumped a buck down the bottem of the first farm on a water meadow that ran off barking for all the world to hear !Never mind as there was plenty more groung to c

    Much better design than the forward climb mate .Had some awkward ones in recent years that would make an older man think twice Good shooting that man ,i suppose his hearing is too far gone to worry about a silencer though

    Tried a place that i rarely go these days as i have plenty to get around and tend to overlook the smaller farms.Glassing is very much from field to field here as its very flatand high hedges .Walked up the lane away from the buildings and spotted a young doe straight away ,Managed to stalk in to about 40yds before she clocked me but good practice anyway .She ran off to the right and through a hedge ,bumping another deer as she did so the other side .Onwards and spied another two does picking at a hedge ,trying for those bits just out of reach like they do .A nice six pointer joined them from

    There appears to be a lot of adults around our way this year,just hope the spawning season was equally as kind this year .These pics are of some i found whilst hand digging a garden ,25 in total,amonst the weeds i removed .All removed to a safer spot in a wood . Seeing loads at night as well, unfortunately on the roads.

    I do believe larsens were invented long after this trapping method was outlawed.

    My own thought is that the rut this year will be sooner than the usual late July early August in the south. Im seeing bucks following does with necks outstretched now which is out of sinc a bit .Bucks patrolling were at it weeks ago when they wernt last year .The kid crop was definately early with us and ive even seen a pair of twins out of spot today . Yours predictions welcome .

    Someone whos head is even further up their own arse than the chap taking the test ,shouldnt be hard amongst the best practice brigade, and a good understanding of the English language would help .Fancy spelling porkfolio wrong.

    Hello Rod mate .If you scroll down to the bottem of the homepage and click on any user name in blue ,the moderators ,then send a pm to them they can pass it on to our admin .Well done for donating the product mate .Look forward to the auction.

    From experience mate ,the older bucks tend to be the last ones out of cover of an evening though this is by no means a hard and fast rule as we found out . Pressure or lack of it plays the biggest part i think second to weather .In areas such as we have with just hedges then a buck can be found at any time in the same place roughly ,its just knowing where they are so you dont bump them .We start stalking after tea roughly which gives us a chance at the yearling bucks which are much more prone to wandering this time of year ,therefore up on their feet earlier.
