Yes the deer are small, a mix of yearlings and fawns, 50/50 male and female but they need to go as the trees planted last year have been taking a thrashing.
The place has regularly been shot by others but there are still significant numbers around that need reducing.
The mindset needed to shoot the "young unns" certainly is different.

The young unns are the tender tasty ones.
