Another buck for client

Third farmer lucky .Too much cover about and pre rut never good a combination but found one and the client obliged by putting him down .

About 10 years ago I had a contract at a £30,000,000 plus Country Estate to deal with wildlife.  I soon found a Roe with a serious head and was talking to a pal about him.  He asked if he could come along and take it.  It had to go so why not, the only condition I imposed was he had to have it properly assessed.

Turned out to be a Gold, and he got it for free, and his name in the history books.

It was quickly pointed out to me, immediately after the event, I made a bit of a mistake and there could have been a chunk of money for the shot I let him have!

Yes, its pest control for me, I know a lot find that difficult to understand with deer, but that's the way it is, I'm not a trophy hunter either, but perhaps I should consider the odd client!

Same here, shoot deer the same as I do foxes and rabbits.  All animals can be pests in the wrong environment, dont know why some people put them on a pedestal.

If you have any muntjac or fallow let me know , could possibly spend some cash if the price is right

To be honest I'm not really set up for it and it would be very possible to blank.

If I get a specific job with lots I'll let you know!

What do you mean not set up ?  I don't do client work, never sold any shooting!!!
