Visited a prospective new permission this morning.....


Recommended Posts

Walked round the new land this morning.......

 

 

Well,I went to see the landowner on a bit of land fairly near me this morning thinking that he was going to ask me to look after a few hundred birds.I am not in a positon to be able to do that at this point in time,and,was hoping to get the rabbit and fox shooting along with any other pest control he wanted done,he also has deer on there,and,three fair sized plantations(Poplars with a few broadleaved in there for good measure).He was a great guy,that loves guns/rifles although he doesn't shoot very often,he just loves them.He did say tghat he does want to put birds down at some point,so would like the fox population thinned out,and,the deer also controlled.He signed the permission slip there and then,and,then showed me the boundaries,and,basically told me to get on with it,I can put up a highseat,even though there is already one there,and,just said to let the manager know when I am going to be about.......I was over the moon,especially after the last few days.

Anyway,here are a couple of well used Deer paths.............

Another nice piece you have gained Martin , how do you do it ??

 

What species of deer are there on this ground ??

 

Good luck tomorrow ;)

 

All Roe Mate,as far as I know at the moment anyway,I did look for Munty slots,but,didn't see any.The land hasn't been lamped either,and,as the landowner says there are a lot of foxes on there,and,to be honest it stunk in places,so,should be some fun at night too.................Martin. ;)
