Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.

If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

Anyone considered to be a scammer will be banned without warning.

Any farmers on here?

#1 Post by Meaty »

Around these parts (Norfolk) there is a crop growing that I have only noticed in the last couple of years but cant figure out what it is.
I know that ttiuwp but whenever I see the damn stuff I haven't got my camera or phone with me. It looks like a cross between sugar cane and maize (without the cobs), is about 4-6' tall and seems to be left until it is brown before being harvested.
Any ideas any????

It could well be maize that is being grown for animal feed, we have it around here, they also grew 50 acres of runner beans one year and let then turn brown and manky.

Well I assume it is animal feed...

Could be sweetcorn, the weather has been that bad crops are going rotten. There's loads here in Shropshire and it's tall brown and looks unhealthy.
