@Barry the hunter bucks are coming out of winter he is moulting. They’re a small animal. This one has just finished stripping. The rut is lib July to mid August. So at the moment they’re trying to put on weight.
Yes also animal numbers very high. But I’ve knocked a big hole in that. Fallow are the main problem.
This one had a broken hind leg. Healed up and was feeding fine until I put a stop to it.
There’s a bigger one on my ground so he stays to breed all others get the cropped as they make a mess of the new trees.



Here’s the fallow problem one of 3 herds on the surrounding property’s.

We actually had to stop hunting last month as the game dealer was not taking any more as he was full up.
With everyone trying to finish their hind culls on the shooting grounds that they could not get to while game bird shooting was still going on.
Hope that answers your questions.
