Just wanted to ask what everyone opinion on White red deer. ive just for my FAC and rifle to manage a few deer on my permission on witch there are a few white reds a few people surrounding my permission apon learnig this have told me not to shoot them. but the few white one ive seen are not quite right manly being wobbly on there legs witch means IMO that they need culling?? what do ya all think??
-
just depends where your are i have two permissions right next to each other one is a a farm with about 200 acres and you can walk around there all day and not see a thing then go to my other permission witch is less than 30 acres and its teaming with the buggers. but always how it is if ya just out for a stroll youll see anything and everything when you got a rifle in ya hand ther nowhere to be seen.

just thought id add another qustion to this topic rather than start a new one. ive just got my FAC back with a .243 o n it with the condition i be mentored the chap i have as a mentor i have been going out shooting a rimfire for several years and i normally with him when he goes after deer or fox. just wanted to know how long is ideal to be mentored as hes gettin on abit and doesnt go out half as much as i want. i know most off you will say as soon as he says im safe but is it better from the eyes of the police if i give a few months or longer?? Thanks

thanks budgie very helpfull the only thing is that with the ram method my pup wont chase sheep if i take him in a field in a flock only on the moors where there are just two or three sheep that are very flighty. being in a tight pen with a ram is a totally different situation than on open moreland is it not?? but as you say if done in a controlled way as you said it might be worth a shot. thanks again

Thanks hutch i wouldnt say iv tried him on a long line but i tried with two lead tied together but all he wanted to do with that was turn around and bite the bleeding thing so never got a chance to teach him anything about sheep i thought about the collar but as a very last resort and as hes so young theres plenty of time to teach him yet and as you say it could back fire so would rather teach him some other way. how old is yourss just out of interest??

Hello there i need a bit of help/advice my pup is nearing 7 months now i have introduced him to livestock sheep cattle ect and with a sturn command ''LEAVE IT'' wont look at them. The problem i have is this works in a field with a flock of sheep but if i take him on the moor where there are just 2 or 3 sheep and are very flighty he is all to keen to chase. but if i put him on a lead he wont bat an eyelid at them its only when we knows hes free to run he goes off after them any advice welcome Thank you
