I am a member of a small deer stalking syndicate [5 in total] where we lease the sporting rights on a block of commercial hill forestry & manage the resident population of roe deer, I also buy a few days away for the larger deer species & so have a .243 Win & .270 in addition to a .22 for rabbiting etc & a few shotguns for driven shooting & wildfowling etc.
