The trouble is I can accept they have a right to a life, else I would be shooting them with my air-rifle or lobbing 6mm steel balls at them with my catapult; but this damage is getting a bit much.You need to speak with Master of Hunts and decide if 20 horses and 100 hounds on your land would do less damage. These critters is laughing you
I will shovel it all back, tamp it down and then Pi$$ on it. I was once told that the human scent scares them off. We'll see.
