True.....

I wondered what that was as only had rubbish in it. I've seen a few deer but not sure if they are hunted, but know there is a few shooting areas as they are marked out with some sort of license numbers and think its mainly birds judging by feathers laid about.
Feeder/ Feathers ?? pheasant shooting maybe ? are there more feeders around ?I wondered what that was as only had rubbish in it.

would have been nice to have seen the ground cleared back a bit and see the fire box placed on something ? glad ya had a good time and seemed to have solved the question of feeders (y)managed to have wander round on the other side of the stream today but most of the photos won't upload, says file to big. Guessing the area is used for lots of shooting as found lots of pheasant cages and loads of them flying up from bushes, also seen a few snares set up around the area.
But managed to light my first fire using a fire steel, couldn't get the dried silver birch bark to light so had to use a Aldi fireball starter thingy, was really surprised how much heat the tiny stove gave off just using just dry twigs found hanging up in tree branches.

That was the prompt about the fire box ?? leave no traceDon't get caught around the pens.....the Gamekeeper will not be happy......especially lighting a fire!
Be a good idea to find another area and stay away.

What i would do is to recce ? are the feeders still in use ? is it a big shoot or a local one, how many feeders over what area, a big shoot there will be signs of 4x4 quad with feed coming in, a local gun club one prob foot prints in my mind just be interesting to find whats going on (COVERT)Have respect and stay away from the pens.....no trace to leave then.
why on picture size when it works ? good picture, plenty of detail ??Just a side note on the picture sizes. There's a free program called FastStone Photo Resizer [LINK] which would do the trick if you're on a Windows box.
Glad you got the fire started with the ferro rod
Sorry mate didn't see thatBecause he said most of his photos wouldnt upload because they were too big.
