Roe bedded in

[bishop]

Anyone else noticing that the deer seem to be bedded down in the depths of woodland for what seems an eternity now with little movement anyplace that relentless wind is blowing.I see a decent window boxing day i may exploit if im allowed out

Would agree with you Bishop.   Global warming is increasing the UK's average windspeeds and I am sure that it is affecting the habits of my local deer.   I don't say that they never come out of the woods but I certainly pick my stalking trips based on the wind forecasts.   They certainly don't like heavy rain either but that is not new.

Its been horrible  here this last few weeks . nothing but the preverbial wind and ****. They are ,i suspect, deep in the forestry where i cannot go  so until these stormy conditions abate im scuppered.

Nothing likes wind, absolutely nothing.

We are seeing groups from 4 to 14 in the field often where you can shoot them
