A mate of mine in that block today. I will let you know what he finds.
I was in block 7 recently and looking across the road I can say there's a huge clearing of recently felled trees at the furthest south end of the block.
Thanks guys
Hi - do you know how your mate got on?Quote:

Yes. 2 inexperienced Hunters, one of then shot a spiker. saw lots of deer including 1 mob of 20. The pictures he sent me show he was mostly inside the pines which were very open with 100m plus visibility. Looks like you should do Ok in there.
Sounds promising thank ya ou ��Quote:

Their advice is find where the runs come out of the tight pines then some good open areas nearby and set up for the evening if you miss out in the morning.
Thanks Gmm
Whats the situation if you shoot a spiker? my understanding was does only unless you have a buck permit?
Had block 6 few years back mate shot a decent buck and we also got a hind. Big open cut area in the middle. We found south of the cut overs was were the deer seemed to cross from the farm/block 7 good hunting in there. We seen a huge(dog sized) black cat in there right on first light
Had block 6 in June. Heaps of deer at the far end. I was going to sit until dark but the wanker on the farm the other side of 7 started shooting just after 2pm. Fired about 50 shots before 3pm. Stopped for 1/2 an hour then started up again. I'd had enough & headed out. Bumped into the patrol & they said he does it most week ends, both days.
Thanks for your help team
My understanding is you get a telling off and a 2 year ban.Quote:

Big cut over area at the bottom of the block that would be a great place to be in the evening, except for the fusillade that started up about midday on a farm on the other side of block 7. went on for a good hour or more. Found a nice trail that I was thinking of watching over heard a noise and it was a mob of a dozen + running towards me, but I manage to miss. My shooting let me down later when I spotted one bedded down in cleared area. But in all a good day out and thanks to the Woddhill Fallow Management team.
Was in Block 4 yesterday, would have seen 40 or more. All does. We collected 2 does for the day so very happy campers
Thanks good to know.
