Hi All
I have a very small piece of land which i have the permisson on (7 acres) surrounded by woodland which is has a good pop of fallow last night on the way to my high seat, i stop in a small layby just below my permisson as i saw a herd of 35 fallow layed up about 30yrds into the wood (Not my Land).This is where i would like some advice on where i stand in the law.
When i was checking out the herd i noticed 2 does with 3 legs one with what looked like a old wound (the doe not in good condition) and the other with a fresh wound with ligaments hanging and struggerling to walk
The Question
Could i have shot these 2 does even if i was on a public highway and not on my permisson?
Going back this morning hoping they might have moved on to my permisson and then trying to find the owner of the woods to see if i can get permisson even if its for humain reasons
