Maidment78 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Evening, I have a lot of roe and muntjac on my land so am used to these guys wondering about. This morning I take the dog out and in the first field there are about 10+ fallow about 100yrds away happy as larry. Been here three years and never seen one (newbury) any idea why they have just arrived and in force? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome of the Woods Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Not sure why but they always travel in numbers. We regularly see groups anywhere between 30/60 around our way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camokid Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 could be a change on local land forcing them to move on to a new patch i no fallow are heard animals and tend to stay close. food is another option has the land changed the crop cycle? could be a few things but fair play let me no if there is one going for a stalk. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgum Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I think that there are a few in your sort of area, they do travel,especially for food. A chap I know woke up to find 90 sat in his field,never known them in his area,some bunny hugger had cut a fence at a deer park to 'liberate' the beasts. The tale went that the police 'liberated' them with lead as it was deemed to dangerous to try and get em back in the farm/park. Best bet is to pick out a nice pricket for the freezer before they move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maidment78 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 They do seem to like it here, got 15 outside the back door tonight with three roe in the paddock and a munt out front. Ironic that they are 50 yards outside my garden and I have no permission to shoot in the main field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgum Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Take down yer back fence, dump half a tonne of wheat on yr lawn spiced up with a couple of half tubs of mineral lick, plant a few dozen rose bushes in the borders and go and sit in the bedroom with the window open with the rifle.
