FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Yesterday afternoon I set off with my mate to cull some of the roe on his ground. Only 2 does have been taken so far so a few need thinning out. The weather forecast had changed and the winds were now 40mph hence no roe out in the open where we were expecting them so a change of plan saw us heading to the lea side of the big wood where it was sheltered. Almost immediately I spotted 4 roe edging along the side of the wood heading for a rough corner where they always head to. We made a large circle to get the wind right and were soon within 60 yards of them in some cover . To cut a long story short we grassed all 4 of them shooting 2 each A great result in challenging conditions. 2 Quote Link to post
