CenterParcs Cull?

[Heym SR20]

I think there are times and places where you just have to accept nature for what it is. Those Muntjac keep the undergrowth under al the trees nice and clear so the kids can all run about without tripping over brambles and falling into stinging nettles. And no need to run strimmers and mowers. They won’t be doing any damage to mature trees, and any new planting can be protected by tubes / cages.

And most visitors at Centre Parks will have very little actual exposure to wild life. What a pleasure in having lots all around.

Plenty of culling will happen in surrounding areas and deer will move out into those areas.

Have you seen how much it is to stay there? I'm sure they can afford it

The kids did teddy bear making. 15 minutes session to stuff some wool in a teddy bears back and zip it up.

£35 each. FFS

Kids loved it. For parents, it's a lot of walking and carrying stuff. Not too dissimilar to a bad uphill carcass extraction

Bloody expensive walk

Center parks in Cumbria helped to start and finance grey squirrel culling to protect the reds will possibly only have roe deer they used to have cameras covering badger setts so that you can whatch on tv in your lodge there was some very interesting footage a few years ago when a young couple got a bit carried away ontop of one badger sett

I was there with my family two weeks ago and had exactly the same thought! Having been there previously I brought the thermal along this time, once the Subtropical Swimming Paradise closed at 20:00 we would go on a nice little stalk on the way back to the lodge. A good way of teaching the nipper how to get on with things, short of taking a shot. The place was absolutely teeming with munties, they would walk by our lodge day and night.

At the Elveden site, they ask guests not to feed them. They are so tame that they are happy to enter the rooms through the patio doors if they think they will get food.

I live nr Woburn centre parks AKA “stalag lift centre parks” and can tell you categorically that is isn’t shot. The fences mainly keep the deer in/out and only the main gate allows them in and out. Although I’ve seen a couple of scuffs under the fence on one side which “could” allow entry but I assumed was foxes.

Beckerings park is just to the west.
There’s a Golf course and millbrook proving ground just to the north.
I’ve got permissions just to the east and the whole area is jumping with rabbits, munties and chinks. I can’t shoot enough of any of them.

There’s an estate a few miles away where the deer stalker takes 600munties a year, every year, off a 500 acre estate. They are a literal epidemic.

I saw the entire perimeter was fenced. I presume they're more focused on keeping intruders out and have no thought for the Muntjac breeding in the place with no escape (apart from the front gate)

 

[Adders]

Yeah Man. There is actually a nice path around the outer perimeter I sometimes walk the dog round.
It’s always fun watching him bump the deer.

And there’s a nice pub on the way home (the French Horn).

We walked inside the whole inside perimeter and saw it was a pretty sturdy fence, but I assume that they are so tame that they just use the road vehicle entrance if they want to leave!

Thought it was bad around me! That’s an insane deer population

Wasn’t the French horn the’Novelli’ place a few years back?
