What is Fallow holding ground?

[Tim.243]

I think I might be guilty of putting to much pressure on my ground in my first year, that said the farmer is well happy now .
There is a field directly across a road from my ground and regularly they plot up there in the middle of the open field flicking the proverbial V’s at me, can’t get on that ground due to some buffer who shoots there once in a blue moon having the sporting rights .
My ground I would class as pass through rather than holding ( putting aside my theory about putting to much pressure on there ) as they always come in from other ground and leave to other ground following the same routes which means positioning for possible ambush points etc. it doesn’t help there’s a small Pheasant shoot on the ground and during the season the Woods are off limits

I am surrounded by 800 acres on a 150 acre plot with only 100 shootable so have a sat cam ticking over and just see when they are coming along then make a plan as they move through. last 8 trips 9 deer last trip 0 as it was a cold nth wind.

It’s an area that they live on permanently. Normally need a few thousand acres to hold a herd of fallow if your pestering them regular
