Tree Damage

[footsoldier]

A very romantic way of looking at it Mick leaving them to there own devices.

But in reality they cause untold damage not only to tree`s and coppicing projects but to shrubs and other fragile plant life. Not to mention there major impact on agriculture and it`s revenue.

I recall a guy who approached me only last year whilst i was retrieving a shot Deer off a winter Barley field. He said why don't you leave them alone there not hurting nothing on this field, the crop ain't even through yet so what`s your problems?

I replied you go look at every hoof mark on that field filled full of water. There were thousands of them all over the 60 acre field.

Little did the guy know that every hole that was full of water could potentially rot away the seeds beneath it.

Just imagine if you had investments in timber production i`m sure the share holder`s would look favorably on the head of Deer and damage on the ground,lol.

Mick you make a point of where do the Deer go?? That's simple there reduced and the surplus go to the game dealer and then enter the food chain.

A true assessment`s should be made of the size of the ground and the amount of Deer it can sustain.

Anything else would be inexcusable and not right for the Deer or there habitat.

I could just imagine Scottish Woodland allowing it to happen up North,lol.

You`d see the Deer one day and they`d be gone as if by magic before sunrise the next day..
