Lloyd90 509 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 So as some of you may have read I have been trying to bring my land along, its very overgrown. Well a few weeks back I opened up some canopy after a day of chain saw work with a mate. Have been doing a bit of feeding and had the game camera out.This week I put my first high seat up, its about 40 yards back from this small opening I made with a game camera overlooking the opening , up until now I have only seen does, fawns and prickets 2 Quote Link to post
Lloyd90 509 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 The farms mostly used for horses now mate so they don't make a dent in anything, it backs onto a large patch of forestry so plenty of room for em to wander Quote Link to post

Lloyd90 509 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Might be seeing him grassed then mate or do you have a management plan . There's not so much of a plan mate, there are several small farms around the area, already quite a few people shoot this land but I dont think any of em put any land work into it, just go where they can and shoot anything about. I think thats why I'm seeing a few about, going to places no one else is and opening up new clearings etc. If I see that beast about I would probally take him given the chance, only ever taken 1 deer (a fallow doe) before. Although theres also a pricket about I would take given the chance ... mainly looking for a bit of meat in the family freezer more than anything though Quote Link to post
sussex 5,776 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 take the pricket , it will eat better , the big fella will be rutting & not be sweet smelling to say the least ...& someone has to think of the breeding stock 1 Quote Link to post
