Yesterday we went for a walk from Wotton-Under-Edge to Newark Park and back. On the return journey we discovered a site where some shooting had taken place.
As you can see from the photo below, there were dozens of shotgun cartridges left lying around. These were next to a large pond, so they must have been after waterfowl.
There were also a couple of what looked like deer stomachs - they were full of chewed up grass. Now you don't shoot deer with a shotgun, so someone was using a high powered hunting rifle.
I'm not sure who the land belongs to, but it's right next to the Newark Park National Trust site. I can't believe for one minute that it's part of the Newark Park Estate, but can't be certain. I don't believe the NT allow shooting on their properties.
Leaving plastic shotgun cartridges lying around is not really on, and I didn't shooting was allowed right next to a public footpath.
