    Planning uplift

    Playing Devil's Advocate should anyone be allowed to tell anyone what they can and cannot do on their own land? Just as some may not particularly like "Grand Designs" style buildings etc, others may not like to see solar farms, wind turbines, rusty corrugated sheds, acres of conifer...

    Fac Variation and Which large calibre rifle?

    It depends on what species of deer you have access to. I use a 25-06 which has been a great calibre for my mainly Roe stalking, however I currently shoot half a dozen Reds per year as well and would prefer a little more oomph as I will often not get an exit with the 25-06.

    According to many posts that is all they get anyway, with the promise that “one day my boy etc etc”). At least that would ensure promises are kept and those pesky meddling siblings couldnt do the dirty….as is apparently quite a regular occurrence!

    Working all your life at home on the farm with that old "It will be yours one day"

    John Price interview , FarmersWeekly River Lugg video.
