martin 332 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 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............. And,some fraying,one bit is where we disturbed him,and,you can see how high up the tree it is as my Brother-in-Law is 5'11"... Here is the resident highseat.............. and,the view from it,forwards............. and,the Badger sette just behind it............. Here is a couch that we disturbed another very good Buck from,he was amongst the Poplars with another young Button Buck,and,a Doe........... All in all I think it was a very productive day,seven Deer seen,and,the next time I shall get there(tomorrow)I shall be well gunned up and ready for the off!!!! Cheers.................'M' Quote Link to post

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.
