    This was all shoved into tree hollows and root balls 2m or so in from the clearings edge, of one of many clearings. Most certainly by other hunters.

    And it doesn't include the 17 beer cans and bottles i picked up off the side of the main track.

    But that aside, thanks for the advice. Ive been scoping out river flats and clearings at the change of light, as youve suggested, but i still need to learn read wind, and to be quiet, and so does my dog! But its still more about getting out, than getting deer

    The streams were proving difficult to cross in places, and with more rain predicted, i thought it best to take my anger, and other peoples rubbish and head home. I can spend my last days off more productively at home!
