On the other hand though , its a bit dangerous to shoot so close to public roads/streets/houses.. so can see your point of view too.
No easy answer, its the begining of the shooting season .
Its a nightmare here, its all down to money the forestry commission is told they have to make X amount, they are selling land property and shooting rights. We have lived here since 1978 and its only the last two years its been so bad. The funny thing is the safest place where you are less likely to see them is the reserve set aside for them.
They were on private land, our neighbours who are not very happy about it either and will be having words with them. We all like to get along here, we are a very small community.
The whole area is right to roam, I don't think that people wandering around and people shooting willy nilly is very safe. They were close enough for a pheasant to fall into the garden. Also we are on a national trail, lots of walkers pass through.
