They actually walked right under where we were shooting but by time I got the camera they had moved across a bit, about 20 of them.

I've had the same happen to me. Shooting 1000yrds and a string of does started wandering across at about 500 yrds away, then followed a huge master buck with neck collar on. Didn't seem at all bothered by us.
 
we were on the running deer club at bisley last year before we started the ro gave us his bit and behind him trotted a nice roe buck ,he never worked out why we were all ****ing ourselves he thought takeing the pee of his range brief :rofl:
 
Nice clips there it reminds of many yrs ago on Bere island with the reserve Defence Forces during a winter camp when we were on the range with the Bren machine guns and a fox came walking along from right to left there were six of us the on the firing line and the order was given to fire Paddock Pizza.
 
Whats the rule if you hit one? is it like driving where you cant pick it up but the next guy can?

Or maybe its like the rule on tracer, if you need to go down range to put out a fire that is fine but we aren't stopping our normal shooting, could make an interesting retrieval.

In all seriousness they mentioned this on the RCO course, "No need to stop shooting as long as everyone is comfortably hitting the target" would be different if they were much closer to the firing point or the target though. The army are apparently often encourage as mentioned before.

I would suggest if one gets shot on the range then the shooters have not had the correct range brief and are grossly negligent. Result would probably be having to fence the range off to prevent further incidents at £20 per meter, this cost will have to be met by some one, probable the people that use the range! I have shot in North Yorkshire the past with red grouse in my lane that were not even flinching at the shot
