My mate phoned me to see if I fancied a look out in the morning onto his ground which he hasnt been on in about a year. Got up at 5.30 am this morning and luckily the weather was ok. We arrived at his ground in the dark and it started sleeting but as the dawn emerged the sleet gave way to a cold , harsh landscape.
We set up position on top of a hill and glassed the ground below but no sign of life at all , not even a crow
After about 1/2 an hour I noticed a doe emerge on the edge of the woodland shortly followed by a follower. We had to climb over a dry stone wall as the doe was 25
