    One strange thing with deer is that wherever the forestry boys tipped the trees over the day before is where one will find the most sign, they seem to love the vegetation brought down with the felling of the pines...a problem arose when they were felling below the track with hunters positioning themselves along the track early in the morning before day break and when the forestry boys turned up and virtually drove the deer towards them...scary shit...the storm that brought the 18 slips down that closed the track was met with jubilation by the forestry lads.
    There is a particular clearing (I will point out to you one day) that can be seen from the track that had a stag and a hind on it at 2.30pm on a weekend when the track would have had 250 people using it walking, mountain biking, horse riding, 4x4, motor bikes.
    The 100 acres has had a thrashing from spot lighters and i believe the deer have changed their eating patterns because of it...I loaned a couple of horses to two guys who camped up there the night, seven spotlighter groups kept them on their toes all night.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.
