jok 3,247 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Went up to Catterick Garrison yesterday on a bit of business. Was given a ride throughout the facility and whilst doing so spotted a number of deer. Any chance of getting a bit of sport mister?? Sergeant. RSM? Corporal. Well, I guess you know the answer to that one. Loll. Never the less it was an eye opener as to what can be seen on ground that is smashed with heavy artillery as well as small arms fire. Beautiful terrain all around and including Richmond which has to be one of my top ten towns in the UK. Jok 1 Quote Link to post

I've never seen so many rabbits on one field as there is on there mid summer.... 2 Quote Link to post

I would think any live firing is fairly strictly controlled .. Quote Link to post

Deadeye18 164 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Spent a lot of time up Catterick whilst doing my infantry training and being on exercise its beautiful if you manage the time to stop long enough to have a real look round.Never saw much in the way of wildlife though.Doubt anyone in the army shot any deer though as you can get charged heavily for shooting sheep etc that wonder onto ranges and such.Either way it would be the mother of all permissions if someone bagged that lot!!! 1 Quote Link to post
