Dear Deer

Noticeably over the past few years the Deer population has grown significantly; they have also become less alarmed by human activity and you can get closer to them than I've ever known.  This in part due to the reduction in culling, which used to be undertaken by rifle; this has mean the deconstruction of established shooting positions, sited in th trees adjacent to several open areas which fringe the woodland.  Here the remains have been sawn up; the hide must have been quite new when destroyed as remains of the carved notice are still clearly visible.  The notice read 'Not for public use', although I've often rested aloft the woodland, sat in a shooting position.

 There are still shooting positions throughout the forest, as with this one nearby beyond Warricks glade gutter.
