I will admit Marshmans a bit older than me LOL , But i am sure i remember the Forestry Commission shooting deer with shotguns and leaving them lying , then later just cutting them in half and taking the haunches , Way before my time we got a 270 and shot 6 days  a week and everything went to the larder 

I knew an old FC Ranger, now gone, who retired in 1994. When he first started as a ranger his first issued ‘deer gun’ was a Greener GP.

Sorry, I don’t see the connection…other than the Martini action? 
Fred retired in ‘94. He maybe became a ranger about 1954, so around three quarters of a Century after Rorke’s Drift. In those days he used to patrol his forest beat on a motorbike.
