Agree with all that sir .What happens here is comical .
There is land that holds good fallow numbers that raid the surrounding farms mainly at night .The holding farm has an elderly gent that is quite well known but has lost his momentum for want of a fitting description .
He used to be on the case therefore keeping the fallow mobile and spread out .He now likes to talk a good game ,makes all the right noises but only shoots a couple a year from his vehicle .Lads have tried to get on offering the landowner decent money but landowner isn’t having it .He’s about same age as the stalker and I guess they have been lifelong friends .
Dont have a problem with him myself as I’ve had the invite on there few times but what’s funny is his stance on it .He’s staying until he dies and is adamant no trigger happy lad is having a look in .
This impacts the bigger picture around us with crops raided at night ,bangers in fields and flashing road lamps .If only he’d give it up we’d all have fallow once more .
I lost my own fallow ground when it was sold to vegans and this in turn is now a sanctuary for marauding herds .
Ive all the gear ,the experience to do the job but so far no luck locally in getting more ground .Roe and muntjac aplenty but it’s the fallow that were / are my passion .
