Available: Dean boar

My pal got that one, think it was around 03:00, we took a suspended gralloch kit with us then Barry recovered the carcass with his quad, was around 150lb
 
It was about 35m from the tower, we went out early to try for deer but no animal movement so we stayed in place till just after first light, long cold night

Great photos mate, how many towers are there on the land. Thanks David :thumb:

We used that one in the photo the first night then went to a different one not far from there to try for deer again but one of the locals wasn’t happy so she was shouting and waving a torch so we moved back to the original tower, he’s got a few more apparently but you would have to confirm with Barry, it was a shame the thick fog came down the second night as we hoped they would be tricked into moving in it as cover but nothing showed apart from the sow with kids on a fly past, as has been said before there’s no guarantee so we were more than happy with our result.
Will definitely be going back for another go

Well done mate, are you going back any time soon. I am down with Barry in May, I will keep a look out for the women with the torch, you never know she might have wanted company. :old: :thumb:

assuming you had a legal right to be there which is I expect a given, there should be a law [and it should be vigorously enforced ]against this ridiculous scenario of objectors being able to turn up and disrupt things, especially when firearms are involved, if they wish to object fair enough but interfering with peoples legal pursuits is not in the interests of safety, would this behaviour be tolerated at a formula 1 track during a race, or ascot, or idiots throwing themselves onto motorways because they don't like cars and lorries.
what the hell is wrong with these people.

She is one of the neighbours, it’s a tricky situation, the boar go in her garden so she wants them out but doesn’t want them shot, go figure

then she needs a fence, and let people get on with legal pursuits on land that hes feck all to do with her.

rather like people who campaign for a bypass for years to ease traffic through the village, then oppose it when the proposed route is 100 mtrs from their garden.
