Night-shooting fallow in Lincolnshire

Parts of Lincolnshire have a lot of fallow. They hide up on antis’ land and feast on nearby farmers’ crops. DEFRA is now issuing night licences for local deer managers to bring down numbers. Luke Butel and Mark Singlehurst of Vale Field & Game show how they carry out a night-shooting exercise on a herd of fallow that’s crossing their ground in order to feed. Plus Luke shows how he reloads his .243 cartridges with 87-grain V-Max bullets in order to do the job.
