I'd just got the pit dug and lined with plastic, came back in the morning and the lining had deer print holes all through it. Flaming animal had either jumped or fallen into the pit and made a series of nice holes through the lining on the way out. That was the end of that idea.

Flick me a pm if you want some ideas Ben
I've built some very successful deer traps.

Yep, thats a way forwards. You only need one in the trap and the rest will stay near that one if they aren't frightened off. If you park it somewhere away from what you don't want deer around double the saving on labour - one on chasing them and two on fixing up the damage...

Wandering off the original intent of the thread there chaps. Bit of a stretch from crims with illegally obtained guns to trapping deer.....

The military semi-auto-sport (no idea what it's Really called ) is apparently coming-back under Pistol-Regulations , which if I remember-correctly , is exactly what people asked the last Govt to do, instead of banning them across-the-board as they did . Watch this-space I guess

Semi auto sporting rifle? No such animal as a semi auto military rifle unless it's big calibres...

The simplest I saw was dependent on contour but basically the cocky had run his deer fence into the side of an almost vertical face and started again on the other side the same way
It might mean scratching into the side of a slope with a digger first

Deer could come down the slope and into the fenced area but not out
