Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 11, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2022 Loads of deer round here. Perhaps poaching stops some round here even getting to the roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 If it was not far after the car park then it might have happened on Monday teatime, drove passed and a lad had stopped and was stroking an obviously hit animal while it died.

Site Supporter Spider Posted May 11, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2022 My wife’s uncle is regularly asked by the local woodland trust to cull deer. There’s too many around Rivington currently and it can get a bit of a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong tabs they were let me tell you. weirdly it was carrying an umbrella as well. I can remember it vividly even to this day. but I digress. aye it’s bad for deers etc up here. Further north you get between them and the highland coos you can’t drive a fucking mile without stopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 12, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2022 It's funny how we look at the wilds of Scotland as being this wonderful natural environment, when in all reality its heavily manipulated by man. Much as our uplands are round here. A drive to reforest areas for obvious reasons will certainly change the views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
