Orka Akinse Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi Dan That Roe sure looks pretty, I know you have a lot of deer down your way, shot down there a few times myself how did you appraoch DEFRA? I always thought they had a procedure but I didn't think they'd ever let anyone have it. Good luck to you Bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reloaderdan Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 the farm owner approched defra about a year ago and one of there bods came out to see us about our wild bird/natural game cover crops wich we are payed for to plant each year as part of our iax/sfp payment and he happened to mention that we had trouble with the deer and crop/plantation damage so any way they had a chat and we herd nothing back so after the law changed in i think october he made the calll again and explained our situation sent of a deer managment plan explaned why we want to shoot at night (we have a big airforce base right next to us and they are busy most of the day and some of the night so night shooting is best for us) and they granted it if you are ever down this way and want a shoot drop us a line mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
