From: Pete Ansbro, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just been chatting to a gamekeeper responsible for a private shoot in Forestry Commission woodland. They've just been handed a new lease, operative the end of this season - even though that's not when the existing lease is due to expire, basically screwing shooting into the ground. Changes to be implemented include no destruction of vermin, no introduced game birds, grubbing out/ ploughing in of existing game cover as part of the introduction of "butterfly" belts with restrictions on cutting/maintenance of these belts, greater restrictions on vehicle access, greater access rights for pedestrians and horse riders. Need I go on?
