They don’t disintegrate that quick. Definitely not be gone in 12 months. Action of weather and breaking them up takes time. If it’s a different landlord over the river I’d definitely just let fly about it. If they do nothing, report it. They shouldn’t be allowing clays or shot to be falling outside their boundary.

And shooters wonder why farmers see their arses with them and tell them to get lost

That’s exactly what I thought, seems reckless and illegal that they can be shooting over land that’s not in there control… the fact they had too stop shooting while I was driving round my sheep is a sign that they shouldn’t be shooting that direction…
my land has a gamekeeper on it that has a bit of a small scale shoot he had too be reminded a few months ago he pays too shoot there not do what ever the f**k he likes after I went down for first time in months and was feeders all over the place and truck wheelings all over the place
few silage bales in the gateways got him paying attention and being more respectful

They take along time to breakdown. Im surprised the clay ground next to me gets away with covering the footpath in clays every other Sunday but they have been doing it 25 years apparently
You will never teach a game keeper.my land has a gamekeeper on it that has a bit of a small scale shoot he had too be reminded a few months ago he pays too shoot there not do what ever the f**k he likes after I went down for first time in months and was feeders all over the place and truck wheelings all over the place
If they were shooting towards my sheep I'd be phoning the police. That's not on.
Out of my 27 landlords most of them have a gamekeeper in some kind of respect and so far Iv only found 1 of them too have any level of respect/ thought for me and get on with him
this winters been the worst because it’s so wet and heaven forbid they walk somewhere

I found a feeder out out in my field of pedigree ram lambs last Autumn.
When I tackled them they said they'd wondered how the feeder had landed back over in their release pens. Fecktards.

A kindred spirit. I think I had 33 at last count.Out of my 27 landlords most of them have a gamekeeper in some kind of respect and so far Iv only found 1 of them too have any level of respect/ thought for me and get on with him
Everything from a pony paddock to a several thousand acre estate.
We should offer our services to the diplomatic service.
I had too go the other night at 8pm and move an electric fence because I’d put some ewes and lambs into a field behind one landlords house and there’s some lovely daffodils growing just in the field a little bit behind his garden and he didn’t want the sheep too trample them while they’re in flower and look nice

Give it a flat roll when it dries up should smash them up to something you couldn’t pick up in hay unless you scalp the ground
In the meantime head round the other side of the river, wouldn’t go bull in a china shop to start with depending on their attitude

I'd not worry about what's in the hay, can't see every bit of clay getting picked up by a baler. Not sure I'd be happy about them landing on my ground without my knowledge.

Is there still lead in modern shot? I thought it had been replaced.yes i'd bee more concerned about lead shot over the grassland than the clay's!
