Thread: VIDEO: Long Range Red Deer Meat Hunt

Deer numbers in so many places are right up there at over populated numbers for a number of reasons. Absolutely understand the ethical dilemma at this time of the year but come autumn and winter I guarantee many hunters will pass up the shot at a hind in hope of some antler so it’s a funny old dilemma in making sure we play our part isn’t it. No other predator follows such guidelines when maintaining the balance of life.

My key point being there’s no need to defend yourself. Enjoyed the video

You always make some well considered comments mate, I do agree with them all.

I gave up caring what other people think of me years ago, whats others think of me is none of my business.
