Ah Sparko that's not fair . That area has a lot of deer in it, from Glastonbury to Cheddar when I go down its a farm I live on that no one shoots ,they told me if I wanted to shoot them to bring a rifle with me, high seat area only, "hedges don't stop bullets" I've more than enough to do when im there so your deer are safe .
There for ever getting hit on the roads due to the hedges drivers don't see then and they don't see cars .
One bit of advice I will say is don't go to a farmers door driving a new 4x4 or anything flash or turn up in military combats and last thing don't offer cash that's how plenty of people loose ground due to others back dooring you by offering more and more money.
