sussex 5,776 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Stocking levels will be less , they need a proper fence !! nothing worse than seeing your money jump the fence & trott off to be shot by your neighbours , they are a lot more expensive to buy in than lamb etc etc ..The fact that their are only a few deer farms tells me their aint much money to be made in it ..!!

Poacherspocket 189 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 A few years back I used to do a bit of dry stone walling for a mate because he used to get called to the local deer farm on a regular basis due to animal activists and the rest of the tree huggers were ramming the walls down and cutting fences so the deer could escape. So beware of the idiits out there atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
