    hi BH driven deer is a big no over here,allthough it is done abroad,years ago they used to drive roe to shotguns but thankfully them days are long gone,far to many wounded deer running of to die a miserable death,.To hit a running deer & deliver a safe,clean humane kill shot in a woodland with something like 308is not really an option mate. No mater how many deer i shoot every time i squeeze the trigger & the deer takes of as they do most times( if you heart/lung shoot them) just for a few metre's normally its a relief when they drop ,and thats with a standing target & me being 1

    Hi callumm i'm in your location & have a more or less the same problem but with birch scrub , I can normally get to grips wiyh 1 or 2 as they come out to feed,u might have to play the waiting game, or feed them out . Have you got high seats ? Can you cut some clearings?

    At last some good stalking weather, was up ,coffee made & out by 6.30 for a short trip to my stalking ground,about 600acres of wood & grassland, Sat & had a coffee as i waited for the first signs of light.With a slight north easterly i had the chance to stalk Round field, a favorite for the deer but very difficult to get any where near if the prevailing south westerly is blowing,today was perfect with a slight north easterly breeze if the deer were not tucked in tight to the wood all should be good. As i worked my way through the wood i could see the deer out about 90 m ,working

    Hutchey my pennies worth ! if you only want to buy once buy the best, as you progress in your stalking you will realise the bit extra the quality opics give will pay dividends in low light conditions over & over. My personal preferance Swarovski bins & scope ,good luck
