Oh, you’re one of those!
They would have to be if their ammo was issued by the Client and therefore were compelled to account for each round expended.
Something like my late Father was tasked with during the war which amounted to shooting wild dogs that required an empty case to correspond with a critter’s tale or you had some serious explaining to do!

Not to Gordon Slaughter from Fyne Game. Sounds like he shut up shop at the wrong time!!
I have lived in Scotland for nearly 30 years now I am not a local born in Englandshire, my family came from Aberdeen and Lossiemouth where my father worked for the Navy, so you can imagine that I have picked up a few very good sayings,
and the one that springs to mind is: your moos all broon..

I have lived in Suffolk all my life. My family came from england. I've been to Scotland twice.
I think though that I can get the jist of that saying, and if I'm right I think it's apt.
Still. This has been an entertaining read.
Na don’t buy that one!! Dogs is a essential tool for contractors as much as a rifle is and is compulsory by fls Scotland! If yer dog canna find that many deer yer dog needs to go I’m afraid!! And if yer cocking up that many shots then you need a new profession
No way!! The contractors need the money so they won’t leave shot deer out on the ground. There’s a 12 hour window to get deer back into the larder so plenty time? You recover what you shoot then move on do you not ?

Regarding red deer numbers twenty Years ago in the highlands, deer commission did periodic counts, set cull numbers for individual estates with sub groups formed and regular meetings held. For the most part hind cull targets achieved. So what went so badly wrong if indeed it has, as private sector did its bit?
Was agreeing with you, apologies should have been clearer
To be clear I was doubting the figures a chap mentioned regarding deer not recovered by sub contractors by been diplomatic and could accept a odd deer lost through human error. It due to human error pressed on wrong post. In my opinion the numbers stated left by subcontractors is rubbish , hope all is now clear. Ps not suggesting untruths just wrong information passed on
Don’t know just curious as to what is the true situation in general across the highlands actually is, after all would imagine local variations. Thought it was generally accepted at one point numbers were not acceptable to some bodies. Have no axe to grind, but would seem according to some on here who live in that neck of the woods as I no longer do there’s non left! Ha ha.
