Deker 3,478 Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) About 10 years ago I had a contract at a £30,000,000 plus Country Estate to deal with wildlife. I soon found a Roe with a serious head and was talking to a pal about him. He asked if he could come along and take it. It had to go so why not, the only condition I imposed was he had to have it properly assessed. Turned out to be a Gold, and he got it for free, and his name in the history books. It was quickly pointed out to me, immediately after the event, I made a bit of a mistake and there could have been a chunk of money for the shot I let him have!

Same here, shoot deer the same as I do foxes and rabbits. All animals can be pests in the wrong environment, dont know why some people put them on a pedestal. If you have any muntjac or fallow let me know , could possibly spend some cash if the price is right 1 Quote Link to post

Only when I start a job, they tend to thin out after Ive been there a while, so numbers better controlled! What do you mean not set up ? I don't do client work, never sold any shooting!!!
